DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 17, 2008
Cask in the Counting house. Aroma is pale biscuity malts, quite sweet with noteable passionfruit character. Taste is similar too sweet and unbalanced, but easily drinkable enough.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 4, 2008
Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of passion fruit on a lightly malty back ground - different, but OK for a summer drink. The aroma is sweet with quite strong notes of passion fruit, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish.

yespr (22204) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JUN 1, 2008
From cask at Charlies. Pours slight cloudy and golden orange with a lacing white head. Mild mouldy malt and fruit aroma. Flavour is holds mild passion fruit note with a light bitterness lurking through. Fruity finish with a growing bitterness coming through. Mild and fruity ale yet with a somewhat mouldy touch to it.
