Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Mid orange, brief thin head. Aroma of wet sheep and mushrooms. And ammonia. The beery aspects come together as a pretty Scottish style aroma. Sacchariny sweet and bitter taste, and also those mushrooms come back. The finish is a mush of chemicals and esters, not a balanced beers melange at all. The ammonia’s reminiscent of public loos. Not all that bad, but just a few too many negatives with every attribute. I don’t think that they didn’t clean the pipes properly, as this had already been on for a short while. However, it wasn’t quite right, that’s for sure.

Apr 28, 2008 Cask. Yellowish orange colour, with small big bubbled head. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some mild earthyness. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite basic.

Mar 28, 2007 (Cask at Baltic Fleet, Liverpool). Golden colored, medium sized yellow head. Sweet and lemony aroma with even some spicy tones. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is basic aleish with lemony yeast and hops, aftertaste dries to have crispy, biting touch. Still just basic cask-ale.
