Cask at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, dark golden with a minimal white head, more of a rim of bubbles. The aroma has a nice, vague fruitiness, with balancing maltiness, and notes of caramel. Nice, balanced flavor as well, with fruity hops, malt and caramel. Medium, maybe a bit thin body, and quite fruity finish. A very quaffable beer that easily could have been my regular if it was available here. (070512)

(Cask) Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Malty and lightly nutty aroma. Thin and watery and very flat. Pleasant notes of fruit and caramel. Nothing much going on but pleasant all right. 120507

Gave it a test at The Ipswich Beer Festival much because of the name. Brownish in colour. Small white head. Malty aroma. The flavour has also got a malty foundation with moderate hop bitterness behind. Medium bodied. Not that impressive (half pint on gravity 23.09.2006)

Cask handpulled at Scarborough Hotel, Leeds. Oh what a wonderful evening. Real beer in a northern city. Gold/copper with lasting white head. Golden hoppy session bitter. Earthy hop, drinkable, subtle bitterness. Bit like Youngs Ordinary. Enough to keep you interested especially on the finish. Citric hop. Good beer.
