Hand-pulled pint at The Cock Hotel on 21st Sep 2019. Bright, clear light golden body, lasting white crown. Mild hop lead in the nose and taste, subtle flavours to this blonde with weak body depth. Still enjoyed it though.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: klar kobber med ok skum. Røde bær, karamell, urter og våt barskog. Very flavourful for a 3.7% beer, and with a fine, lingering bitterness.

[Cask at the Alehouse,Reading.] A bright amber pour with a ring of white head; very floral aroma; sweet floral taste with a herbal bitterness, and a rather sticky finish. Overpowering in a Palms Violet sort of way, definitely not refreshing.

13th July 2019, cask half-pint on the 23rd Annual Bishop's Castle Real Ale and Cider Trail. Slight red hue to the amber pour, off-white head. Semi-sweet malty brew that has a dry finish and a light floral aroma, liked it.
