Bottled@chriso (bought from vintage stall at GBBF). Goldeny amber colour, small bubbly head. Aroma is sweet malts, some mild old bitterness as well as some wooden notes. Flavour is sweet malts, mild old bitterness as well as some mash. Quite much kotikalja taste over this. BBE scale ended at 1989 on the bottle, so quite vintage by now. No infections, just aged.

GBBF. Cask. Hazy gold beer with a decent frothy head. Light dry palate. Light malt and a little subtle hop. which has an unfortunate sulphur streak. Dry finish. Coulda been good sans the sulphur.

On tap @ the Haymarket Bar. Pours golden with a nice sized head. There is a grapefruit note which is expected but also a bit of green apple which has be worried it is just on the edge of oxidation. The taste has more of the same. I mentioned this to the bar people who can’t agree re the green apple, so if it is the way it’s meant to be it’s worrying. For some unknown reason, I am back in the Haymarket two nights later and I try the beer again (my friend has it this time) and it’s much better. So, it was slightly sour the first time and this cask was fresh.

Cask at The Clachlan, London. Pours a clear, dark gold with a tight, creamy white head. Clean and fresh hops on the nose, subtle grapefruit. Flavor doesn’t quite match up to the aroma but it’s still good. Pretty sweet, some creamy caramel, ripe citrus, faint grass. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, decent balance, some caramel, toast, easy earth and herbal hops. An alright beer on the whole.
