Pours a clear light golden colour with a good sized foamy white head that settled to a creamy small head. Aroma is light malt, floral and fruity, peach and tropical. A surprising biscuit malty taste, fruity flavours and a little nuttiness and a light bitterness in the finish.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear golden. Hoppy fruity appley nose. Medium sweet with rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Caramel covered in apple syrup. Despite the evident hop presence green apples comes to dominate. Lingering hop-bitter finish.

Fruity, floral, fresh taste with notes of biscuity malt, apricots and a moderate floral bitterness in a fairly short finish. Rather thin body. Fresh but on the thin side.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. Gold, bubbly beige head. Some decent citrusy fruits on aroma. It’s got some nuts in the mouth. Pretty decent bitter, moderate fruit, has an almost minty flavour. Must have liked it from the score.
