Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. Has a golden straw colour with a small off-white head. Have a nice and sweet aroma of elderflower, citrus and some spices and bubble gum. The taste is a bit faint but I still find a little spice and something that is reminiscent of dandelion. Is a little strange in the end. Mouth feel is light and smooth, and has a lasting medium bitterness. The aroma is good, but the taste feels a little unbalanced.

Cask @ JDW Elgin [090613]
Sharp zesty hoppy nose, taste of sharp lemon zest, grapefruit zest, touch of grass. Bitter zesty palate with some lingering bitterness. Yes...it’s better 3.2 > 3.6
Cask @ Mash Tun, Aberlour [180513]
Golden, clear, thin white head, some lacing
Aroma of light fruity citrus hops, light pale fruity malts
Taste of fairly bitter zesty hops, light pale fruits, getting a slight smoky note(?)
Palate - Light to medium body, soft oily texture. Finish is bitter, rather dry
Overall - I had Trade Winds earlier in the evening - some aspects of that I could taste in this. I’d like to try this again

0.5l bottle. This is a clear light cola brown one with a good looking big light brown head that's leaving some serious lacing on the sides of the glass. On the aroma it has a good cola sweetness. Could of course be the imagination, but I clearly smell old still cola here. Also, it has a light herbal tone, almost grassy. Not extreme, a bit sticky sweet and definitely not bad. It's really thin and watery on the mouthfeel unfortunately. Wasn't expecting a full-bodied experience, but this was really thin stuff. Flavors however is quite nice. Lots of internal, thin sweet, really earthy flavors with traces of both cocoa, bitter almonds, chocolate, light roasted malts, really thin coffee and biscuits. Mmhhh, lots of flavor packed in a really thin beer. I'm enjoying it more and more, and it's really lightdrinkable. Not bad. 24.04.2013

Medium brown head. Nearly opaque black body shows clear dark brown at edges, with visible carbonation. Roasty earthy metallic aroma with mealy chocolatey notes. Dry-sweet earthy fruity roasty taste with chocolatey dusty notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy roasty dusty aftertaste with wooden chocolatey bready notes. Really nice, and highly drinkable. Full of flavour, too. (0.5l bottle, Meny Strømmen Storsenter.)

Biggish offwhite creamy lasting head. Clear golden body with carbonation. Floral fruity aroma with strawy earthy notes. Dry-sweet strawy earthy fruity taste with floral notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish floral fruity aftertaste with smoky (?!) metallic notes. Nice, drinkable, interesting. Surprised by the smoke, but it does work. (0.5l bottle, Meny Strømmen Storsenter.)

Bottle at CGarvie tasting. It pours clear pale yellow with a small white head. The nose is sweet pale malt, spice, ginger and leaf. The taste is dough, pithy citrus, spice, ginger and sweet pale malt with a very dry finish. Lightish body and fine carbonation. The ginger isn’t really as punchy as you’d expect with this name. Not much to it....

Cask at The George, Croydon. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose is floral, hay, biscuit and soft honey. The taste is bitter-sweet, earthy, floral, biscuit, pithy citrus and light bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not much honey really... just a hint perhaps. Not bad.

Medium offwhite head. Clear golden body with carbonation. Floral earthy aroma with elderberry notes. Dry citric floral taste with strawy herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, fizzy mouthfeel. Dry herbal wheaty aftertaste with dusty mealy elderberry notes. Nice, if perhaps a little bit too bitter. The elderberry is fairly subtle, don’t think I’d have picked it up, if it didn’t say on the bottle. (0.5l bottle, Meny Strømmen Storsenter.)
