Tide (787) - Espoo, FINLAND - JUN 27, 2012
Bottle from super market. Red color, white head. Bitter taste with caramel, some citrus, toast and floral hops. Smooth, but no lack of depth in flavor. Very good brew, almost as good as Fuller’s ESB.

NordicV (792) - Malmö, Sweden, SWEDEN - MAY 26, 2012
Nästan kopparfärgad öl med ett vitt trevligt skum. Maltig men balanserad doft, inte för söt. Även i smaken balanseras maltigheten med en torr humlebeska. Positivt överraskad.
