JorgeLee (716) - Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 18, 2013
Cask at the Holly Bush NW3. Slightly coppery golden colour, thin head. Lightly hoppy aroma. Light clean palate, a hoppy bitterness in the finish. Curious flavour, a nice bit of crunch, some earth and a hint of fruit. Not the most fruity Nelson Sauvin I’ve ever tried. A pleasant and slightly unusual take on an English spring bitter.

(Cask at Pikkulintu, 20130411) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had honey and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, honey, sweetness, grain and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. The cask hadn’t reached its prime yet. A decent golden ale.
