Cask @Brasserie 4:20 (Rome), several years ago. Ambrata carica, schiuma bianca media. Al naso sentori di biscotto, erba tagliata, mela verde. In bocca è magnificamente bilanciata, attacco dolce con finale appena amaro. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Molto English style, buonissima!

From the cask in Oxford somewhere. From old notes. Medium copper color. A bit sweet, malt driven flavor with fruit and caramel. Decent enough hops. Thicker body; mellow.

Bottle - Mild fruity apricot and citrus, with a bit of bread. Very foamy with a bubbly white head and cloudy copper. Citrus and a pithy bitterness with a bit of bread. Way too carbonated, so much so it ruins any subtlety this beer may have had. The label says malts, I don’t get it and it would have been much better if it was.

0.66l bottle. This is a cloudy deep peachy orange one and it has a nice medium sized almost bubbly off-white head that sticks around for some time. Really nice hoppy and fruity aroma on this. Grassy hoppy with traces of both caramel, citrus and marmalade. Smells quite nice. It has a thin oily mouthfeel with a below average carbonation level. Birch hoppy flavors with grass, earthy hops, mineral water and some faint fruitiness. A really good balanced kinda dry bitterness in this. Not to challenging, but I'm really thirsty right about now, and this killed that thirst in a brutal way. 09.08.2013

Bottle, at Christianssand Brygghus. It’s an unclear, copper-colored beer topped by a dense, off-white head of moderate size. The aroma is on the malty side, fruity and caramelish, with a faint spiced touch. Full body, pleasant carbonation. Semi-dry. Fruity finish. A quite pleasant one, but not very interesting. 130520
