Delt med Rune. Gyldenbrun. Teppelacing. Lavt tett skum med litt farge. Karamellaroma. Saman mere karamell. Lett tørr bitter avslutning. Bra - men ble litt ensformig.

Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Copper color, poor head. It has a light apple aroma. Quite watery mouthfeel, with a little caramel taste and ordinary to sub-ordinary bitterness, still with a touch of apples. It reminds me the apple touch from homebrewing kits. Easy.
