Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUL 15, 2011
Cast at GBBF 2010. A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has sharp notes of spicy hops combined with light notes of butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a lightly bitter finish. I think it is a bit off.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. Brown with hints of red. Thin white head. Some rich biscuit, some fruit in mouth. It’s quite decent. Like most B&T beers, well made. Fruity and biscuit is good.
