Cask at GBBF08. Hazy dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Cardamum flavour, I think, definitely some cookie spice. Not bad.

Cask at GBBF 08. Winner of the weirdest beer of the day. Cloudy dark brown with thin beige head. Bit of banana. What’s it supposed to be? A dunkel weisse? A bit of raspberry. Definite banana. It’s a dunkel weisse. Crazy, but really interesting.

500 ml bottle. Almost clear amber body with a small white head. Vague, sweet malty aroma with some fruitiness. Flavor is caramel malt and a hint of bitterness, very average flavor. A bit watery body and not to balanced. OK session bitter but to flavorless for me.

Red-foxy beer; small disparate head, fast gone. Fruity, bit of shellfish aroma, then raspberry jam. Thick-fruity flavour, superposed on a rather bitter-hoppy beer. Ends very dry, plywood-like. Fruitacids blend perfectly. Very slick, fusels coming out in the aftertaste. Very original fruitbeer, compared to all the ideomatic others.
