The fruity and spicy overtones are noticeable from the start on the nose and palate, whilst at the end the sweet, soft orange notes return.

Cask at the Willow Walk (JDW), Victoria. Amber in colour with a tight cream head; crainy, citrus aroma; full bodied, with a an orange fruit flavour; quite sweet at first, but then well-balanced with a sharp grapefruit finish. A really mouth-watering Golden Ale. Ecellent.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Pours a clear, yellow-gold with a faint, filmy head. Sugary malt aroma with mild sweat, straw and citrus. Flavor is nice, pretty sweet with some honey and sun-kissed hay, lightly bitter with tangerine and grass. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, lightly bitter, some bread and easy citrus rind. Very pleasant beer.

Draught. Clear golden with good white head. Very little aroma - bread? Light body and carbonation. Flavour had some sweet candy notes and some bitterness in finish. Good quaffing ale.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has notes of flowery hops and citrus. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of flowery hops and fruit as well as some malt and peaches, leading to a bitter finish.

500ml bottle, as Essex Border Stour Valley, enjoyed in a relaxing atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon at Naboen in Bergen. Hazy amber body topped by an one-finger, white head. Nice glass-lacing. Floral hoppy aroma. Malty flavour well paired with spicy hops. Dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Actually a quite sophisticated beer (20.06.2009).

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Golden colour with a slight chill haze, big white head. Moderate fruity hops in the somewhat sweetish aroma. The flavour is reasonably hoppy with some fruity notes, a moderate sweetness and a bitter and dry finish and aftertaste.
