(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 23 Apr 2026) Golden amber colour with creamy tan head. Fruity, malty nose with apricots, mandarin and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange peel, mandarin, bread, toast and a balanced citric/resiny bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and hoppy, quite drinkable for its strength. Very nice.

Cask at EBF Easter 26. Slightly opaque amber with a thick foamy white head. Aroma has caramelised fruit sweetness and a sour edge. Flavourwise it's tangy with citrus sourness and a hint of a resinous edge. Light-medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable stuff - best thing from this brewery I've had?!
