Cask at The Cresent, Salford. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and grassy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and light notes of butter, leading to a dry, grassy, and bitter finish.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a small white head. Aroma is peachy to citrusy, light grassy to herbal hops. Bitter and mild peachy/citrusy. A bit herbal and dry. Quite bitter and fruity finish.

Cask. Pours a deep golden with a slight haze and an off-white head leaving quite some lacework. Biscuity, malty nose. Light body, very low carbonation, fruit, butter and a slight whiff of mold - doesn’t really appear all that fresh. Rather solid hop bite in the finish. 190111

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden. Spicy hay-like hops strike hard. Very dry with light body and lovely chewy vital malt character. Almost aggressive chalky bitterness. Lovely drinking beer, though perhaps the bitterest bitter I’ve had.

Cask at Charlies. Clear amber coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of grass and hops with notes of citrus. Fruity flavour of grass and hops with notes of citrus and grape fruits. Dry hoppy finish.

cask at SRAF 2010 ... amber ... thin white head ... soft wishy washy hop nose ... dull fruit hop ... light sweet ... light yeast

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Gold, slight haze with lasting ivory head. Some ok grapefruit hop. Ok in mouth. Quite a decent beer. Touch too cold. Touch of tea. Otherwise ok.

@ Playfair, Edinburgh. Golden with a thin head. Leafy, herbal hop character with fruity nuances. On the palate, it’s a bit toasty, again with fruity nuance. Good clean bitter.

Cask @ Charlies Bar, Cph.
Pours clear golden with a small, creamy, white film head. Good duration. Aroma has toffee, caramel, earthy and grassy hops. Low carbonation, okay dry and light oily mouthfeel. Flavour starts with a spike of citrus, then malts and mild toffee. Long, bitter finish with earthy and piney hops. Light doughy. Okay.
