Casked. Copper coloured, creamy beige head, lacing. Apricor and other fruits in aroma with a sting of butter and stinky feet (in positive way..). Flavour is apricotty and peachy with hints of hops and apple. Smooth palate and very pleasant. Long fruitish hoppy aftertaste. Very good 3,5% beer.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The nose contains loads of lemon, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of peaches, oranges, lemon, and alcohol (quite impressive for a 4.8% ABV beer)

Amber color; creamy head. Very nice hop aroma, a bit grassy. Smooth, malty (a bit), hoppy (reasonably), caramel: very enjoyable! Very long final.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Golden colour. Perfumy nose with lots of apple and peach. Sweet with firm. soft mouthfeel and a welath of grassy hops - resulting in a pleasantly bitter finish. A well structured beer, but I’m not fond of sweet, fruity bitters.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark golden. Appley nose with yeasty banana. Sweet and sugary with some candy and sulpur along with stale hops and vegetables. Herbal, bitter finish . Never cared much for Loddon’s beers, and this was certainly not one of their better efforts.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Hazy reddish amber. Flowery, hoppy nose. Sweet and lightly sulphury, soft and rounded with a herbal, very bitter finish. The most balanced of the Loddon beers I’ve tried.
