(Bottle at Angleterre, Helsinki) Poured pale golden and clear. Head was small and white. Arom was very herbal and mildly fruity. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were herbalness, fruitiness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was herbal and bitter. Quite strange but not really bad.

Bottled@Angleterre, Helsinki. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cooked vegetables and shite. Flavour is bready malts, some mild grains and mild notes of cooked vegetables. Pretty much what I don’t want in my blonde/golden ale.

500ml Bottle - Copper with a slight haze. Slightly tart, musty and fruity aroma with hints of dried fruit, caramel and malt. Fruity and tart (intentional?) taste with raisins and caramel standing out. There is definitely a slight sour hint to the beer and whilst it’s drinkable, I am not sure if the sour hint is intended or not.

Cask gravity at Kent & E Sussex BF 2010. Deep gold, thin off white head. Slight syrup on aroma. Decent condition. Bit uncultured in mouth. Some harsh earthy english hop on finish. It’s alright and a bit sweet. But I do quite like the English hop on the finish.
