Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of flowers, malt, and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus fruits, herbs, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

(Keg at Viisi Penniä, 20190405) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, earth and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were earth, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, malty and bitter. A decent malty brew with English hops.

Tap at Bishops Arms Sundsvall. So i was glad to see this baby on tap here in Sweden and shocked to see it at 5.8 not 3.8. Turns out it is called extra. Little to no aroma. darker golden than normal HopHead. A meaty golden/ bitter taste. Slightly boozy aftwr with light pine hop. Good for here but prefer the original.

Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear gold with a small, foamy white head. The nosebhas some citrusy hops, melon and tangerine, crunchy hay. Light sweet flavour with bitterness of grass and citrus rind, some orange. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Finishes with more citric notes, crisp pale malts, more grassy and rindy bitterness. Solid.

Back from the dead! Cask at Craft Holborn. It pours clear golden - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, oily, juicy, peach, melon, gummy bears, piney resin and bread. The taste is dry, bitter, oily, resinous, melon, greengage, peach, spice, pithy, white bread, cracker, grass and straw with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty good fun. Lacks the chuggability of the regular version.
