Pours a cloudy dark amber/ orange color with a foamy white head. The aroma consists of a floral hop and malty balance, nothing special. This is a very quaffable and smooth, yet not watered down, ale. The malt presence balances out the delicate floral hoppiness quite nicely.

Cockney Pub, Aarhus, DK. Cask, 200908. Amber with small white head. Aroma of malt and lots of fruit. Flavor is sweet of malt with a nice bitterness and tones of citrus and melon.

Really enjoyed this one. One of the most striking beer flavours you’ll get. Not a taste of fruits but more of grain flavours, good pint here.

Cask at The Butchers Arms, Herne: Brown in colour as you’d epect from a best bitter. Very malty aroma. The flavour is full of malt with a fair ammount of toffee. Probably the best best bitter there is. Gorgeous beer.
