Bottle from Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon and consumed at Towersey Festival, Oxon 2009 Poured amber with an off-white head. Aroma on this one is very spicy with a touch of malt. The taste is also spicy but malty, there is toffee also, not bad for a GK beer but unfortunately its a touch too sweet for me. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Boks 0,5l kjøpt på Systembolaget i Kiruna. Mørk gyldenbrun farge. Fint kremaktig skum. Aroma av ristet malt og frukt. Fyldig smak: Frukt og ristet malt. Behagelig. Litt brent bitterhet i ettersmaken. Bringer absolutt fram minner om cask-utgaven. KI=3

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. Clear gold, thin white. Some GK yeast on the aroma. Some rubberised pasteurisation too. Some moderate hop on the aroma. too. It’s lacks some punch later on due to the fact that it is pasteurised. Starts alright, but then rather dies into a citrusy blandness. It’s a good thing Lawrence was a better player than this is a good beer, or we wouldn’t have won the Rugby World Cup. Dull, but with some decent citrus flavours.

Bottled. Deep amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is strong wooden notes, along with caramell malts and some mild raisiny notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Still rather nice though even though it was
