This burnished copper coloured premium bitter contains the finest crystal malt and a goldings-led hop blend bringing flavours of peaches and plums, ending on a note of rich ruby port.

Cask Conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm
Amber color; medium head. Simple aroma, some apple peel and yeast. Quite thin mouthfeel, with dry caramel flavor and light tannins, also some yeast. The hops are quite positive, the lack of malt, of body and the presence of yeast are negative. Unbalanced experience.

Cask handpull at The Artillery Arms, Ramsgate. Copper. Very distinctive hop aroma. That’s pretty good. Nice tangerine fruit, excellent earthy hops. I’m quite impressed. Very drinkable tangerine hoppy strong bitter. Good spice on finish.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and so is the flavor though added a note of butterscotch, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Cask@Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Reddish ambery colour, mediumsized creamy head. Lacing. Aroma is fruity hops, some very sweetish nectary notes as well as some mild glueish sweetness lurking. Flavour is hops, apricot and mild peach along with wood and some mild yeastyness. Quite compex, but still not that interesting.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 17 June 2008) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, orange and citrus peel. Fruity taste with orange, apricots and a nicely balanced dose of earthy hops in the finish. Fairly dry, well balanced. Nice beer.
