3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask@Old Bank, Turku, Finland. Served at approx 10 degrees C. Golden colour, huge bubbly longlasting head. Bitter lemon/orange in aroma. Smooth fruity aroma with bitterish finish. Much smoother than bottle version. I feel they serve the real ale a bit too cold at Old Bank, as the beer stood on the table for a while and once it got warmer aromas and flavours started showing up...
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. It was a surprise when I realized I hadn’t rated either the cask or the canned version of this. The explanation is probably that I’ve never liked it. Therefore I was equally surprised when the canned version was really attractive and hoppy. Upon sampling the cask version I quickly remembered why I’ve kept myself from drinking it since long before I’ve joined Ratebeer. It comes out clear amber. Smells insipid of boiled vegetables and ash. It’s sweetish with light body and some syrup. Finishes wih some vague saltiness. Just boring and insipid.
