500ml bottle shared with Jim. Goes down very easily, nothing bad about it, but otherwise entirely unmemorable - possibly a good session beer?

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 11 Feb 2008) Mahogany colour with brief, beige head. Fruity nose with dark fruit, orange, earthy hops and hints of yeast. Fruity taste with a solid malt foundation, notes of orange, dark fruit, grain and generous doses of earthy hops in the finish. Solid winter ale with a chewy hop character.

Cask. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity hops with some slight earthy hints. Flavour is hoppy, grassy and quite bitter. Not almost any fruityness at all noted in the flavour.

Cask Conditioned at Københavnske Øldage 2007
Hazy light amber color. Delicate but very nice fruity aroma. The body is quite weak, of course, but with respectable dry caramel flavor and bitterness.
