Bottle at Delirium Café in Gothenburg, Sweden. Courtesy of Rickgordon.Beautiful orange color, shite head. Fresh hoppy scent and taste.The name itself is not that inviting though, I don’t want anyones dirty dick to leave a bad taste in my mouth... A beer worth trying though.

Cask at Wenlock. Copper colour with sparse off white head. Some typical Young’s yeast, citric hop develops throught the mouth to the finish. Yep ok bitter. Yeast is quite nice on it and zesty hop finish. Bit under developed. In fact it got taken off to rest. Bit muddled. Hops are distinctive though

Bottled. (BB august 2005) Dark red/brown with a dense, beige, lasting head. Sweet malty aroma, unfortunately with some hints of vomit. Could this be due to the BB-date? Full-bodied with a rich, sweet malty flavor and plenty of hops. Lovely, long sweet and hop-bitter finish. Some alcohol flavors can be found too. (060108)

Amber color. Some malt aroma. Quite malty body, with pretty good hopping. Quite pleasant, and hop-aromatic.

Bottle: Dark ruby coloured, thin foamy layer, quickly diminishing; vinous nose (Port, Sherry), traces of molasses, traces of raisins and caramel in the aroma; sweet, but also bitter flavour, full bodied; complex sweet fruity finish, with a distinctive chocolatey bitterness coming through the backdoor. An Ersatz-Port for those, who don’t like wine.....................................

An amber beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is sweet and very floral. The flavor is sweet nutty with fruity notes of oranges, as well as a flowery note. Slightly sticky mouthfeel.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden with a tall, handsome head. Very thin and watery with a weak, fruity aroma. No real traces of the Maris Otter malts or the Liberty hops. Looks good but the taste is disappointing. 100802

(Bottle 50 cl) Pretty, golden beer presented in a clear glass bottle - decent head. Strong, floral hoppy aroma. Flavours are dominated by perfumy passion fruit (really hope it’s natural flavours), but the fruity sweetness that would be expected never surface. Instead you get a very light and dry beer - not much bitterness though. I reckon this would work as a summer quencher, it’s just not the worlds most harmonious brew. 260402
