Cask handpull at Borough Market. Dark copper colour with thin beige head. Cookie dough and hoppy aroma. Caramel and op in mouth. More hop on end but disappinting and a bit of muddle of flavours. Like so many beers at this pub, never sure that this is exactly how it should taste. 2.5/5 Re rate County Hotel Ashford. Decent hoppy pale ale. Good pink grapefruit hops.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A pale yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet and citrusy hoppy - but quite light. The flavor is sweet grassy and hoppy with a very dry bitter end - it almost totally dries out the mouth. I’d call this a bitter ;-)

[Cask at Carlies Bar, Copenhagen] A slightly hazy orange beer with a thin slightly lazing off-white head. The aroma is slightly hoppy and slightly grassy. The flavor is extremely dry, with absolutely no sweetness and no alcohol, which makes it very thin - like a Danish light pilsener. A boring beer - order only a half.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and lightly hoppy. The flavor is sweet, lightly hoppy and lightly flowery. A really good thirst quencher on an Indian Summer day in Copenhagen.
