Cask Conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen
Hazy amber color. Light aroma of grassy hops and sugars. Strange flavor, some malt, bold bitterness, woody stringency, almost vinous and corky. A bit odd.

Hazy amber color. The aroma is a bit sour; the flavor is quite light, an easy sample, light malt, quite strong bitterness, very light off-flavor. Infected?

Cask at GBBF 06. Golden with lasting beige head. Yeasty, hoppy, bit of farmyard. Soft in mouth, some leafy citrus hops on end. Weird and vaguely unpleasant.
