Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen, RBESG, August 2006. Bright mid brown colour, with a thin but persistent white head. Fresh and fruity. Light hop presence. Nicely balanced and easy drinking. Better than I was expecting from a Banks beer that had travelled halfway across Europe.

Tried on cask, lovely lunchtime pint, full bodied, pleasantly bitter and fruity, great pint!
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not much aroma, fruity malts if anything. Not a great deal on the palate but a nice taste. Its not a bad beer, at 4.8% I could drink a few happily.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Dark-ish amber pint, slightly sweet, brown sugar and malts, background is a little dank and the mouthfeel is oddly creamy. Finishes dank and mild floral hops. Not too impressed.

Cask. Serviceable. Reddish brown with plenty of clings. Slight hop and plenty of malt in both aroma and taste
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Admirably hoppy, tea-coloured pint with some sourish grapefruit hoppiness in the nose. Musty, leafy, aromatic and bitter with creamy malt afters. Only really let down by its generic, gas-pumped, best-a-man-can-get artificially foaming ’smoothness’.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask. Hazy red amber.
Slightly nutty fruity malt base, hoppy flowery.
Quite dry mouthfeel.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Cask, The Wharf, Aalborg) - Bright orange colour. Light, fruity hop nose. The taste has a slight malty sweetness, combined with a dry floral hoppiness, -the aftertaste fades pretty quickly though....
