Lovely ale. Clean pale bready malts, light bitter lemon rind, straw. Great condition. Crackers, iacuits, bitter hay and grassy accents. Massively drinkable.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear amber beer, small bubbly tan head. Fairly dry and somewhat thin palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, touch of tangy caramel. Bags of dry cinnamon, getting a little hot. Cloves and mild dark fruits. Light and semi dry finish. All over the place. Dry and thin and way over spiced.

Cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a cloudy dark amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. There’s rye and hops in the aroma, but even together it is somewhat weak. In the mouth there is a gentle sweetness overlaid on a strongly bitter base. Rye is the main flavour along with pine, floral hops and black bread. Some hints of hazelnuts later as well leading to a dry and nutty finish. This is reasonable.

500 ml can, from Vaaland 1889, Bryne. ABV is 4.2%. Deep golden to orange colour, slightly hazy , with a moderate but lasting white head. Moderate malty aroma, hints of earthy hops. Fairly complex flavour for its low ABV: malts, caramel, toffee, stewed fruits, plenty of earthy bittering hops throughout. Not too sweet. Might buy again.
