Cask. Pours an almost clear amber with a dense white head. Fairly harmless aroma of fruit, malt and a little flowery hops. Light body, low carbonation, vague buttery note. Caramel and fruit. Good, dry hoppiness in the finish. A nice session Bitter. 190211

Medium offwhite head. Light amber body with light carbonation. Perfumy sugary fruity aroma with floral caramelly linoleum notes. Dry-sweetish mineraly fruity taste with metal notes. Mid-bodied. Slightly astringent mouthfeel. Dry mineraly floral wooden aftertaste with caramelly metal notes. Not bad, but a bit austere and perfumy. (0.5l bottle, Meny Grรธnland Torg, Oslo.)

Warning! Early amateur rating! Interesting complex beer. Fruity and with nice caramel notes. Subtle Port and Brandy tones. Complex finish with subtle chocolate. Not bitter. Very nice.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Pretty standard stuff, balanced but just one of thousands. A touch creamier than most perhaps.

0.5L bottle, small, stable and a little frothy head, a touch hazy dark gold colour with some brownish streaks, aroma of herbs and honey, flavour of sour bread, honey and a strong and mellow sourness, quite dry, meduim sour bread aftertaste. Not too complex but good and quite satisfying.

500 ml bottle. Deep golden body with a fine white head. Nice and mild aroma of malt, some caramel and light hops. Flavor is smooth, mild malty, relatively sweet, floral hoppy and just a tiny hint of vegetables (not really offending). Not particular bitter but quite nice anyway.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Pours golden with a small head. Aroma is light, floral, slightly buttery hops. Some citrus hops start. Floral hop finish with low bitterness. Good session brew.

Bottle. Clear deep golden with a medium white head. Aroma of grassy and slightly spicy hops, a bit of bready malt and light graininess. Sweetish bready flavor with light fruitiness and a mild hoppy bitter finish with a touch of citrus. Medium-bodied. OK.
