Cask@Stockholm Beer Festival 2006. Ruby color, no head. Leather and hops in the nose. Malty, leathery notes. Good hoppy aftertaste.

A darkish, sweetish brew. Full bodied, but a little too sweet for my taste. Handpump, Harbour Inn, Southwold, October 2003.

(Stockholm Beer Festival 2006) Amber, small head. Fruity aroma, some pineapples and banana notes. Very thin flavor, some fruits and hops but most of all water, I expected alot more from the brewery that makes Broadisde.

Half on cask. Mahogany colour with a low off-white head. Poor in aroma, some sweet malts can be detected. Traces of caramel and spicies in flavour. Dry finish accentuated by moderate bitterness.. Medium to full palate. (Greyhound, Ipswich 22.09.2006).

(Cask, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct) Dark amber colour with small head. Fruity nose with apricots, blood oranges and notes of earthy hops. Fruity taste with lots of bitterness from the earthy hops, notes of orange and cherries. An allright bitter with a nice hoppy bitterness.

Cask at The Clarence in London. Slightly hazed gold body. Miminal head. Nose is mild bitter hops, light grains, and a hint of lemon peel. Taste is grains, faint citrus, bitter hops, mild note of stewed veggies. Mouthfeel is leaning toward full. Finish is citrusy with grains and more hop bitterness.
