COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular;
A beer of golden yellow, with a rich and smooth full fruity palate including tangy zest, cherry and elderflower notes, good mouthfeel, and a mellow dry aftertaste. The nose is delightfully hoppy and tempting. The beer is named to commemorate William Crabtree, the Salford astronomer who, in 1639, was the first to view the transit of Venus across the Sun.

madsberg (7569) - Søborg, DENMARK - AUG 6, 2005

Cask @ GBBF 2005: Yellow coloured. Clear. Small white head. Is extremely fruity and malty. Has some herbal and hoppy notes. Is quite watery and bland. Ends on a very light bitter note. Ordinary and nothing special. A bit too malty for my likings.
