Gave it a test at The Ipswich Beer Festival much because of the name. Brownish in colour. Small white head. Malty aroma. The flavour has also got a malty foundation with moderate hop bitterness behind. Medium bodied. Not that impressive (half pint on gravity 23.09.2006)

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear deep golden. Sweaty, dusty and fruity with bold malt profile and light body. It has notes of green apples but dust and vacuum cleaner bag dominates. Being thoroughly killed in a side by side tasting with cask lagers from Franconia.
