Cask, Summer Festival at Far From The Madding Crowd, Oxford. Ultra-pale gold, small layer of fine white. Fresh hay and bubblegum aroma. Fine textured cedar bitterness, a little pollen, very light grainy malt. Clean, refreshing and well-crafted. A really pleasant beer. But it suffers by comparison: for the average brewery, this would be a good effort. For Dark Star, it’s fairly average.

Cask at Kitty’s, Helsinki. Golden color with small head. Refreshing tropical fruit aroma with mango and apricot. The taste is biscuity, fruity, herbal and firmly bitter with mango, apricot and lemon. Smooth and firm taste with nice hoppy fruity character!

Cask.Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is grass, hops, some mild sweet wooden and vanillaish notes. Flavour is quite much the same. A pleasant brew which also is refreshing.
