harrisoni (5338), Ashford, Kent, England Aug 25, 2007 Cask handpull at Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Pale gold, thin white head. Citrusy pale gold hoppy beer in the JHB mould. Some grapefruit, some hay style pale malt, grassy throughout. Decent tingly crisp finish. Bit of mouth puckering acidity. Good biting crisp pale gold beer. KnutAlbert (2322), Oslo, Norway Sep 4, 2007 Cask in Glasgow. An outstanding bitter, just the beer if you really love hops. Flowery, dry, refreshing. Too extreme for some, I suppose.

Cask handpull at the Abbortsford. Pale gold with a thin white rim of bubbles. Lovely crisp grapefruity hops nose. Dusty and fruity grapefruity hop flavour With a lovely dry bitter finish. Effortlessly drinkable. Very tasty session beer. Sigmund (1961), Hafrsfjord, Norway Aug 31, 2007 Cask (return system) at The Abbotsford, Edinburgh. Pale golden colour, low head. Very nice aroma of fruity hops (citrus, tropical fruits). The flavour is very refreshing with zesty and fruity hops throughout, but is not too bitter. The mouthfeel is maybe a bit thin. A nice beer though. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Aug 29, 2007 Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Clear pale golden. Light citrusy nose with some buttery cookie malt underneath. Sweet and light bodied with soft mouthfeel. Some good late bitterness. Very drinkable, very good!
