On cask. Poured a copper amber with a small white head. Aroma had strong malt notes with an undertone of citrus hops. Flavor began malty with cereal and bread notes but finished with a bit of a malty kick.

Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori. Hazy deep orange colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is really fruity and slightly wooden and nectary. Flaour is herbs, wooden and slightly nectary. Pleasant and wellbalanced.

Cask pint at NERAX on 5/2/07
Chestnut-amber hued bitter with a moderate amount of white head. Very bright condition, with marginal lacing.
Profound esters and lightly sweet malts in the nose are very classy. Has a slight woodiness to it, or hardness you might say, of very dry brown bread that emerges as the sweet, creamy sugars recede. Definitely hopped well, it has a strong floral character that melds well with the sugars and lightens the overall darker malt character. Just a hint of earthiness is left on the finish, with lightly bitter hop notes and more soft esters. Quite complex, as it ranges from hard to soft, malty to hoppy and pale to dark (sugars). No alcohol or flaws. Very clean, with a medium-high aroma strength.
A light English crystal/caramel malt hardness is laid upon the palate initially, but soft, vanilla and cream-like maltiness adds depth as does a fair notion of coffee and light nuttiness. The coffee is very subtle and lingers on the finish, almost chocolatey. Through the middle, there’s a fruity hop bouquet, replete with bright, red fruit esters and some leafy bitterness. Finishes dry, crisp and yet without any of the wateriness associated with the style. Probably the tight, moderate amounts of carbonation seeing to that, giving the body more fullness than it actually has. No flaws at all. Like the crop circle, I don’t get much house character, but that’s ok.

Cask conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol 25/4/07. Amber colored with a slight head. Some malt in the aroma, followed by flavours of red fruit and a relatively dry finish. An alright session beer.
