Cask @ Akkurat. Refreshing summer beer. Crisp, hoppy and very drinkable due to the low abv. Too bad that it has got some serious soap notes.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden. Aroma is thin but there is some roasted notes and a slight grassy note in there. Pours a golden, slightly hazy colour with a thin foam. Taste is dry and crisp, slight bitterness and very refreshing. Given the low alcohol content this is a perfect summer beer. Mouthfeel is smooth, little carbonation.

Nice colour, golden with hop haze... Light fluffy white head. bready malt and biting leafy fresh resinous bitterness. grippy. Very floral and freshly baked bread nose. Honey and flowers. And orange peel. Salty and burtonised but soft and drinkable. Yum!  Could down a lot of this stuff. Only minus is a slight celery note - green hoppiness.

Birra da paura!!! Freschissima, luppolata al punto giusto, da bere e ribere senza pietà! Una delle migliori birre mai bevute al 4:20.

Superb aroma, really strong floral hop nose with a hint of citrus. Taste is dominated by hops, pleasantly bitter, goes down very easily. Good ale.

Cask at Cloisters. Pale amber with a thin white head. Biscuit, light citrus nose. Taste is bitter up-front, but with a smooth floral streak. Average so far but it’s all about the finish. Long and zesty, but never overpowering, sticks around for a good few minutes after each sip. And at 3.8% ABV the hop presence is incredible.

Excellent session bitter that’s bursting with flavour. Strong floral aroma with a hoppy, slightly bitter taste. Very refreshing.

Cask. The Pub, Leicester. Thin white head, pale gold body. Citric, grapefruit. Bitter. Dry, light bodied, soft mouthfeel. What a ridiculously overrated beer. I constantly drink beers better than this.
