Bright, vibrant golden-amber colour. The aroma is caramelly, minerally with a light anglohoppy grassiness. On the palate it’s largely minerally (esp. chalky) with a light juicy maltiness and a firm hoppy finish. Quite dry. The lack of yeast, though, hampers would would otherwise be a fairly expressive example of English brewing. Then again, with the yeast it may not have survived to explore this coast...

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark ruby/mahogany colour with frothy beige head. Malty nose with dark fruit, notes of wild berries and a dash of earthy hops. Malty taste with berries, dark fruit, raspberries and caramel. Pleasant dose of earthy hops in a fairly dry finish. Soft, rounded mouthfeel, some bitter-sweet notes, but mainly dry. Not really adventurous, but very tasty and with amazing balance. Seriously sessionable.

Appearance is a really appealing dark ruby, almost black with an off-white head. The smell is malty, slight hint of nuts and burnt wood. The taste is also burnt, but balanced with some sweet malt and the hint of dried fruits. Aftertaste is a dry roasted flavour, with the lingering hint of fruit. Really nice.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 24 May 2007) Golden amber colour with foamy white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of citrus, orange peel and earthy hops. Fruity taste with orange, grapefruit and earthy hops in a long bitter finish. Medium to light body, mainly dry. Refreshing with a nice hoppy character.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm Deep golden. Resiny green hop aroma. Dry with rounded mouthfeel. Really resiny with strong hop presence. Fairly light bodied, yet fruity with lingering resiny finish. Rather unbalanced.

Cask. Dark rubyish amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is hops, some wood and malts. Flavour is sweet malts along with wood and some flowery hops. Quite non-saying beer.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. A very appealing dark plumy colour with a caramel head; but that was the best bit about it; fruity sweet aroma; fruity flavour but with an edge of burnt malt; and a rather dry finish. Looks like a great mild, but that’s all ther is too it - the taste misses by a mile.
