Vignale (783) - Malmö, SWEDEN - JUL 6, 2010
Real ale, inget skum, mörk bärnstensfärg, drucken på Hawkley Inn. Varm, svag men med ovanligt mycket humle i både arom och smak, lite bränd söt maltkropp, lite åt mild ale hållet men samtidgt frisk p g a humlemängden. Mycket fin.

Wonderfully quaffable ale. Great hoppy aroma, citrusy but not over powering. I’ll have another please.

cask - Pours golden and mostly clear with a long lasting white head. The aroma is mainly hops with a little fruit. The flavor is moderately bitter with good, crisp hops and well balanced bready malty sweetness. It’s smooth, tasty, and very quaffable.

Heads up to Martin @ White Horse for mentioning it was on. Pretty boring aroma just mild floral notes. Taste was awesome. Full on caramel, good bitterness, citrus hops and butterscotch. A little doughy yeast but nothing ott. I was really impressed with this. Look out for it. Tap at White Horse beer festival.
