[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is flowery hoppy with slight notes of lemon. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy combined with citrus and a slight sticky toffee note.

Clear light to medium amber orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light to moderate hoppy, orange, apple. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acrid bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090730]

Bottled (at Chris O). Ambery golden colour, small white head. Aroma is quite fruity and berryish, with some slight yeasty and wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same, quite sweet, but niicely hopped brew.

Cask at the Royal Oak, London
Hazy amber color. Very grassy hop aroma. Quite malty, a bit of hoppy fruitness, strongly hopped but still mellow. Excellent.

500ml bottle from Brewery Shop. Chestnut, clear with lasting beige head. This has a really toffee butter aroma. Not much hop really at all. Diacetyl? Just not much of anything but butter, some hop on end. Bit disappointing. Only hints of the big hop I was expecting. Must try again and preferably on cask.

A Mes rate: Another bottle from the Royal Toke that we sunk on the benches outside the George Inn. Mid amber with a decent white head. Hoppy, grassy aroma that is much more IPA than ESB. Malty and unrefined flavour with some sweet cereal notes underneath. Not a great beer.

Cask @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a golden deep orange with next-to-nothing head. Aroma is light caramel with a good dose of grassy hops and a little sulfur. Low carbonation. Flavour is very soft, lots of caramel at first. Then a surge of wonderful hops hit me, but maintains a great balance. Pine and flowers dominate, giving it a great dryness at the end.
