Cask @ R’n’H. Golden pour with white head. Couldn’t smell anything on the beer. Bitter metal after taste, slight grain and hop notes.

Cask at Rattle n Hum: Pale light golden pour with a thin white head. Crisp and bright aroma- lemon zest and herbal qualities with a crackery dry malt background. Creamy mouthfeel- quite substantial for the low ABV. Beautiful flavor- has a solid crackery malt back- very dry throughout with a rich zesty/spicy hop character. A fantastic session!

Cask. Pours a pale golden body with a white head. Pine y earth tones, dingy malt bill with highlights of vinegar? Thin and light, i suspect something went wrong with the filling of this cask or transit ect. I finished the pint but i didn’t enjoy it so much.

Cask. Pours light gold with a white head. Fresh floral hoppy aroma with just a hint of citrus. The flavor is well balanced with floral hops and light pale malts. Very good and very drinkable.

Cask at Rattle and Hum. Poured a medium clearish amber. A bit of a thin mouthful but the flavor is strong and intense. Some great citrus notes. Grapefruit juice with a wonderful malt balance. Nice bitter finish.

Cask at The Gallows Bird, Espoo, Finland.
Cloudy golden colour with almost no head. Smooth hoppiness with pine and resin in aroma. Sweetish hoppy flavour with some ash and wood. No much of an aftertaste.

From cask at the Rake. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is solid peachy and grapefruity. Bitter, fruity and mild malty base flavoured. Very crisp and vibrant hops flavoured yet also smooth and not overly hoppy. Bitter and dry finish.

Cask at Akkurat, Stickholm, Sweden. Shady golden, small white head. Herbal and floral hop aroma with a light fruity/bready maltiness. Light bodied, soft carbonation. Dry with nice long bitter finish.
