Cask (backlog). Slightly hazy yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is bready, floral, a bit sulphury with some nectar to it as well. Flavour is rather similar in an ok balance.

27th May 2008. Smooth if dry ale. Lovely fruity profile - peach and orange. The lightest touch of malt. Very quaffable.

Cask Conditioned at Christian F, Odense
Hazy blond color; nice head. The aroma is mild, with some hop and apples. Grassy malt flavor, strong bitterness, light vegetables touch, and sweet nuts and ashes at the end. It doesn’t seem to be in prime conditions.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 11/05/08. Pale gold in colour with a slight white head. Fruit malt and grassy hop aroma. Flavour started sweet, with a hint of butter before a spicy hop finish. Good.

[i] [b] Cask at The Swan with Two Nicks, Worcester, 08-03-08 [/i] [/b] Pours golden with thin white head, in fact it’s actually a warm golden colour. There’s a sort of icing (on the top of a cake) sort of flavour to this, some honey but lacking in hoppiness and bitterness, it’s fine enough.
