Ungstrup (11930), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 10, 2007 Cask at GBBF 2007. A hazy golden beer with a thick orange head. The aroma has notes of yeast and citrus as well as a light touch of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with floral notes of hops, leading to a nice bitter finish. The body is thin. oh6gdx (6583), Vaasa, Finland Aug 27, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is very nectary, wooden and fruitish hoppy. Very nice. Flavour is the same along with some grassy and rather hayish notes in the finish. fonefan (6086), Ulfborg, Denmark Aug 27, 2007 Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2007, London. Light yellow orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, toffee, butter. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England Aug 11, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Hey, it’s from the Wirral so I had to have it. Gold, lasting off white head. Nettle hop. Decent condition. Bit of sweaty sox. Nice enough beer. Certainly godl personality. Doesn’t develop much, but hte sherberty sweaty sox is ok.
