Fra cask på Craft Beer Co i Covent Garden, med Egil: brunsvart med tett skum helt ned. Navnet er korrekt beskrivende, her er det ikke særlig mer å tilføye bortsett fra at det smaker overraskende godt! Creamy mouthfeel and long, carsseing aftertaste.

Given the golf reference I'll take an educated guess this should be called 'Triple Bogey' , I've never equated daaancin with golf before, although both involve clubs 😉 😁. On the punp clip as 'Triple Bogey'. Cask at The Kentish Belle, Bexleyheath. Hazy orange pour with a white head. Aromas of pineapple, peach, mango, sweet citrus. Taste is zesty orange, pineapple, mango, touch of pink grapefruit. Sharp hoppy finish.
