Bottle. Golden with a thin head. Aromas are lemon curd with lemon tea and light grapefruit. Hints of lime with biscuit. Flavours are lemon and lime with grain and biscuit. Dusty yeast with toast and a slick buttery finish. OK.

[Gift from my wife, from Dunster Village Stores - cheers!] Light amber, rapidly diminishing off-white head. Looks thin and fizzy, and turns out to be so in the mouth. Lovely aroma though - really enticingly fruity. However, the flavour is poor in comparison - dry minerals with just a hint of biscuitty malt. Didn’t really enjoy this, I’m afraid.

Cask at Urho’s. Copper body, white head. Aroma has english hops, some hair dye. Flavour has malty bread and grassy hops.

Draught at St Urho’s, Helsinki, Finland.
Clear pale amber colour with average sized foamy white head. Mild fruity hoppy aroma with some soapy fruity notes. Mild soapy fruity flavour. Some malt. Low carbonation.

Cask@Kitty’s, Helsinki
Pale amber color, small white head. Light berry-caramelly aroma. Light body, watery palate. Honeyish flavor with low bitterness. Light flowery hoppyness. Quite bland for even Golden ale.

Cask Real Ale at Kitty’s. Mild nose. Pale minimal head. Slightly coppery colour. Slightly waterly malty and hoppy taste. Average hoppiness. Nice bitter.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 11/05/10. Amber coloured with next to no head. Aroma of apricots and citrus fruit. Flavour of sweet malts, berry fruit and orange hops, with a hint of spice and decent dry finish. Very good.

cask at Helsinki somewhere 300309 old note light brown andsmall head lacing some citrus fruity no remarkable bitter hops. Promising marketing name but dull.

Cask - - Pullman, Helsinki
Mid orange, no head. Most fruity aroma for a while - punch bowl - orange slices clearly floating in it. Sweet malty body, a bit watery, some wet sheep, some apple. Old and tired, perhaps, so could be better.

Cask at Pullman Bar, Helsinki, on 2008-11-22. Golden and clear. Small white head. Grass and yeas in nose. Medium bodied, quite fresh and still dry palate with little carbonation. Grass, fruitiness, bitterness, lightly malts, seawater and hint of black pepper in taste. Bitter anf fruity aftertaste.
