Varm mørk gylden. Filmskum med litt farge. Lett karamellaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørr maltaktig med innskal av tørket frukt. Tørr bitter avslutning.

Bottle. Smooth mild dry beginning. Malt there, caramel with typical Ale bitterness. Very nice and round, refreshing and smooth, rich and deep with a nice bitter malty ending. Nice one. --- Beer merged from original tick of Number One on 09 Jun 2019 at 22:22 - Score: 7. Original review text: smooth bitter, malty with a dry Ale aroma.

25/5/2019. Cask at the 14th Annual Beer Festival at the Trimley Sport & Social Club. Pours dark amber / copper colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of hops, malt, fruit, caramel, flowers and biscuit. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Decent brew.

500ml bottle [from a trade with Grumbo - thank you very much, Graham!]. Minimally milky, redd-ish, deep copper colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy and caramel malty aroma, notes of red berries, especially lingonberry. Taste is mellow malty and fruity hoppy, hints of caramel and toffee, red berries; slightly dry, leafy hoppy finish. Nice.

One-third pint, keg at Three Wise Monkeys. Crystal clear copper coloured body. Dissipating beige head, Dotted spots on the glass. Vague malt-fruity nose. Mixed taste of grain, caramel and a backdrop of lemony hops. Short-lived malt-fruity bitter end. Clean in the mouth. Easy going. (Colchester 12.07.2017).
