rosenbergh (3486) - Helsinki, - JAN 12, 2011
Cask (gravity) at Isis Farmhouse, Oxford, England.
Dark brown colour with no head. Weak aroma of caramel. Flavour is mild sugar, caramel and tiny hints of fruits. Flat. Not a roller coaster for senses. And I’m being generous.

KimJohansen (10340) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - FEB 20, 2010
Hazy amber with a medium white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with malty notes and mild hops. Flavour was sweet and malty with grassy hops. Finished quite bitter.

Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 20, 2010
Bottled. An amber beer with some sediment floating around under a thin off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit as well as notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, straw, and a bit of fruit, leading to a dry metallic finish.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 20, 2010
Bottle, 4.2%. Weak fruity aroma. Cloudy grey orange colour. Small white head. The flavour is also slightly fruity. Quite a subtle beer, not watery, but not awfully flavourful either.

berkshirejohn (3014) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - JUN 19, 2009
50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Hazy amber with a rapidly fading cream head; caramel malt aroma with some light fruit and yeast; dusty malt flavours with more caramel and a gently bitter finish. Rather unexciting.

Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Hazy amber colour with thin beige head. Decent hoppy aroma. Quite nice really. I had a second bottle at home and it was equally as drinkable a bitter.
