500ml bottle bought at The Real Ale Store. Shared with Finn. A creamy pearl white head leaving upper part lacing on the glass. Amber coloured body. Plain caramel nose, inviting. Flavoured with caramel, bread, dough, and ripe fruits. On the sweet side of bittersweet to the finish. Decent. (Hotel room, Nottingham 14.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på rom 301, Premier Inn Nottingham Arena. Gylden. Klar. Problematisk skum som roer seg etter 4 min. Spotlacing. Aroma av malt & fersken. Smaken tørket frukt. Tørr bitter avslutning.

11/9/2020. Bottle at the Gorzow GP bottle-share, from Beers of Europe. Pours clear amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is tropical, floral and herbal. Moderate sweetness, light sourness. Moderate body, bit watery, soft carbonation. Aroma was ok but sourness made it less appealing.

Bottle @ Lincs tasting, Højbjerg. Huge head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, caramel, fruits and hops. A bit too carbonated. Sweet finish.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - a gusher. Deep cloudy amber. Big gushy head. Nose - wholemeal bread and a hint of spice. Oranges maybe. Taste - tangy yeasty and malty. A general sourdough bread situation. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - this is not as the brewer had intended.
