Cask, Battersea Beer Festival, London 2004: Golden, no head, weak toffee nose - butterscotch like. Also in taste, sweet and hoppy at the same time. ot my favorite.

Cask, NERAX 04 festival, Somerville, Ma. Good nose, pineapple,apricot, vanilla. Yellow gold color. Kinda floral, though I got a sourdough , metallic thing too. Thin & bitter finish. Nose was my favorite part.

This brewery has good things, I am not in a bitter club but although its classification, it had a nice bitter taste.

cask-conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm Golden with a low but dense head. Citrus and hops aroma. Somewhat watery but the growing bitterness really makes up for that.

Pale ale with a dry/slightly malty aroma and dry flavour. Overall a plain pale beer.

Huge aroma of flowers and hops. Taste is very watery of hops and more flowers.

Very light in appearance, tart and fruity taste, very good on a hot summer evening

Cask at Cask & Kitchen. Clear gold with a cream head. Aroma of citrus. Flavour is popcorn that leads to quite a sharp bitter hop finish. Unusual, but alright.

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 at the Red Lion, Preston, Herts. Pale straw with a tight white head; aroma of fresh hops; slightly earthy flavour with fresh green hops and some toffee and light citrus to finish. A pleasant, straightforward, light bitter.
