Jorvik ale in a pure stylish 500ml bottle. Brownish-golden in colour. Rocky head with nice bubbles. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Barley and dark fruit flavours ending in a bitter aftertaste. Rather thin body (shared with Finn, 26.07.2006).

Cask handpulled at Scarborough Hotel, Leeds. Oh what a wonderful evening. Real beer in a northern city. Gold/copper with lasting white head. Golden hoppy session bitter. Earthy hop, drinkable, subtle bitterness. Bit like Youngs Ordinary. Enough to keep you interested especially on the finish. Citric hop. Good beer.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Pale golden yellow colour, little head. Fresh nose with citrus (lemon) and hops. Taste is grassy and fresh with citrus and hints of fresh hay. Dry and bitter finish. Refreshing, not at all bad but not really exciting.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is spicy and roasted, while the flavor is sweet and quite spicy - I pick up ginger.

Cask at Market Porter, London; 4.1% ABV
Dark amber to brown color. The aroma is too simple, but the taste is more interesting, with a very nice roasted malt touch.
