Bottled@Monks Café, Stockholm. Pale golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, grass, mild notes of wood and that’s about it. Flavour is hops, wood and some grassy notes. Mild/smooth bitterish grassy finish.

Handpulled cask at JDW Lloyds no 1 Waterend barn St. Albans. Very pale almost lagery colour beer with a lovely nutty, coconutty nose. Full, rich and tasty beer with malt, hops, coconut and bitterness. The hops turn very bitter in the lasting ciric finish.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 1 July 2008) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Floral, grassy nose with citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and fresh notes of grassy hops. Malty, grassy taste with notes of citrus and fresh grassy, floral hops in a fairly short finish. Light body. Decent, tasty blond ale with a fresh, floral hop character.
