Aroma seems minimal what is there is grassy with a touch of toffee. Taste has more hop character touch of citrus, more like caramel than toffee and a decent bitter finish.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - APR 3, 2007
Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy giving it light notes of grass. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grass and grapefruit, leading to a nicely bitter end.

Cask (handpump) at GBBF, Day 3, August 2006. Hazy amber colour. Mellow, herbal aroma. Slightly spicy. Fruity flavours. Quite tasty. Clean and fresh with a decent grip in the mouthfeel. Pretty decent stuff.

Cask (GBBF 2006): Buttery honey with some fresh fruity. Very morish berries and apricots. Golden in colour. Tasty stuff.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 1, 2006
Cask@GBBF06. Copper colour. Hoppy and a little spicy (i though there may be ginger in this???). Some citric (orangey) hops in the finish, quite pleasant, but i didn’t really appreciate the ginger character.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Hazy copper, thin off white head. Bit of ginger on aroma. Lovely fruit flavours. Like drinking a summer field. Nice spicey finish. Excellent flavourful bitter. Thanks Jens

Cask conditioned – handpump – GBBF. A dark copper coloured beer with a lovely orangey hoppy aroma definitely featuring one of the 3Cs. The taste has good bitterness levels. Again nicely hoppy and nicely fruity. Very tasty and the cask beer of the fest for me.
