Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A slightly hazy amber beer with a dense cream colored head. The aroma is sweet malty with light flowery notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of wheat and perfume, leading to a dry wheaty and slightly bitter finish.

Bottle, St Andrews Hall, Norwich. Post Guy’s wedding. Not something I’d normally have sought out this, but it was the best of a bad bunch and there was £££ behind the bar. Anyway....dark amber colour, malty farty aroma. Flavour was malty, thin; watery body. Not very pleasant, what -evuh....

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild fruity hops and malt aroma. Flavour is dry and bitter with a distinct dry malt base and a mild fruity accent. Dry and bitter. Ends this way with a mild classic pilsner bitterness.
