The beer of the festival, and my very last beer of the day. Copper colour. The blend of Cascade and traditional British hops sustains the interest. Aromatic without being too perfumed. There's citrus, bitter oranges, tree fruit, spice, aromatics and malt in there. All in excellent balance. Quite bitter and refreshing. Powerful finish with all the elements previously notes lingering on. This is a wonderful ebullient and assertive beer. Cask (gravity), Battersea Beer Festival.

Jun 29, 2008 BCA from Centurion Vintners, Stroud. Amber with a big, foamy white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of grapefruit, apricots and earthy malt. Full mouth feel with a slightly sweet malt flavour, with some caramel and a mouth puckering citric hop finish. Very good.

Apr 7, 2008 (Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Copper colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with dark fruit, citrus and earthy hops. Fruity, malty taste with citrus, toffee and lots of earthy, slightly metallic bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Brilliant balance between fruit, malt and hops. Very nice beer.
