Cask at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, dark golden with a minimal white head, more of a rim of bubbles. The aroma has a nice, vague fruitiness, with balancing maltiness, and notes of caramel. Nice, balanced flavor as well, with fruity hops, malt and caramel. Medium, maybe a bit thin body, and quite fruity finish. A very quaffable beer that easily could have been my regular if it was available here. (070512)
