Cask at the Wharf. Very fruity hop aroma. Quite hazy copper colour. Frothy white head. Good, uncompromising bitterness, slightly yeasty. Low carbonation, but very drinkable. Good mouthfeel, comes off as if it has more alcohol than the 4.0% the coaster says.

Cask at GBBF 2006. An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and fruity, while the flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit, leading to a lightly bitter end.

Bottled. Clear, deep ruby beer with an aroma of lightly burnt malt and some hops in the background. The flavor is a bit sweet and malty, with a balanced bitterness. Medium to full body and it feels a bit peppery in the mouth. A quite nice englishman. (070216)

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy golden beer with a thick light orange head. The aroma is sweet flowery, combined with light notes of peaches, on a light malty back ground. The flavor is sweet and very flowery and with strong notes of peaches, leading to a dry and lightly bitter end. The body is a bit thin, but it is a very drinkable beer.

Copper brown color, steady white head, some lace. Clover aroma, some honey sweetness. Fresh flowery hoppy flavor, lots of cut grass. Soft mouthfeel, flowery hoppy aftertaste. Nice session beer from fresh cask.
