Forholdvis pålitelige notater fra en travel dag på The Great British Beer Festival, London 02.08.22: brunsvart, fint skum som varer. Citrus, røykmalt og mørke karameller i skjønn forening. Nydelig balansert og deilig, lang ettersmak (og det er et stort kompliment fra en sokm ikke liker røykmalt).

From cask at the GBBF with Holmen1 and Stephen 03.08.22. Ebony. Brown head and lacing. Aroma and taste of pine, ash, smoked malt and grapefruit. Well-balanced, interesting and surprisingly quaffable.

Can bought at Meat & Barrel, Southsea. Aroma is light - Light citrus and a hint of creamy oats. Hazy pale gold. Thick frothy foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Zesty sour edge. After the initial hit a seet juicy streak appears alongside tempering oats. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy prickly carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Slips down. Yep.

Cask: Poured a murky orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, coconut, tropical, really lovely to the nose. Taste is juicy citrus, hints of fresh coconut and tropical fruits blend in to give it life and character.

Cask: Poured a dark brown chocolate with bubble tan head. Aroma is rich roasted malts, that cascade hops fights though. Taste is blend of smokiness, hops bite, roasted malts, very lively on the palate. Best I’ve had in awhile.

9/10/2020. Cask takeaway from the Urban Island brewery tap. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is roasted, earthy, hoppy, chocolate, cocoa, touch nutty and fruity. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, soft carbonation. Nice roasted fruity drying finish. Very nice example of the style (though why has someone quick rated this a 1 thus undeservedly bringing down the average so much?).

Keg at Love Beer London. Predominantly citrus aroma. Very pale hazy orange. Thin translucent white head. Light sour satsuma citrus with the vaguest bitterness. Medium bodied. Slick. Lifted by soft-fizzy carbonation. Relatively abrupt dry finish. Very sessionable.
