Cask at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Golden color, generous head. Impressive aroma of citrusy hops, then showing green hops and earthy hops too. Medium-light body, quite dry mouthfeel, some malt flavor with a crispy touch, it gets a bit metallic too. The final is full of herbal hops and it has a quite harsh bitterness. Clever usage of the hops.

Small coarse offwhite head. Amber body. Faint malty aroma with hoppy notes. Dryish musty earth and peas taste. Very weak. Dry wooden aftertaste. Served way too cold, which may have helped to make it so boring and unattractive. (0.5pt cask at the Fox & Anchor.)

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 1 Dec 2007) Amber colour with brief, white head. Malty nose with notes of dark fruit. Malty, fruity taste with dark fruit and hints of dusty hops in the finish. Decent beer, but hardly exciting.

(Cask at Bishops Arms, Västra Hamngatan, Göteborg) I was a bit suspicious since the last beer I had from Nethergate (at the same place) was bad = old and maybe infected. This one was way way better though! Very dark deep red color, small brown head. Smooth malty taste, coffee and roasted malt aftertaste. Subtle sweet and roasted scent. Smooth mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.

Cask at Wetherspoons near Trafalgar Square, London.
Pale cooper coloured, small airy head. Mild hoppy and slight sweet malty with notes of caramel. Quite weak and disappointing Christmas beer.

(Cask at Bishops Arms, Västra HAmngatan, Göteborg) Very dark reddish brown to black color, tan to brown head. Acidic to sour taste, vinous as well. Mostly sour but also burnt and roasted aftertaste. Acidic, metallic and red currant (berries) scent. Also butterscotch. Smooth mouthfeel, lo wbitterenss. A bit harsh bitter sensation that lingers. Perhaps this keg has been infected?

[i] Cask at The Hop Pole Aylesbury, Bucks, 08-11-07 [/i] Pours dark brown with a great cushion of white creamy head. Aroma ok but nothing of note save for some malt. Initially creamy taste (but that was probably just getting through the head) there was a suprising bitterness about this beer (and I wrote these exact notes in the pub without looking at the commercial description) so pleased that I picked that up, as i’m not always the most observant. This was not bad at all, though I did rush it a little.
