Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 17/05/09. Golden with a slight, off-white head. Weird mix of summer fruits, chocolate and hay, with a touch of ash in the finish, Not for me.

Cask/gravity at LD11. Golden brown with a small coarse white head. Malt & a hint of honey on the nose, more chewy malt in the body with a balancing bitterness. A good but somewhat ordinary malty northern bitter.

[500ml bottle from deli in Ullswater] Pale straw golden colour with a healthy carbonation – large head, and constant stream of bubbles. Right down the lines of a bitter golden ale – some mild hop aromas and flavour, a mild astringency but a decent finish. There’s some barnyard in there as well. Drinkable [15012011]

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and straw. The body is thin.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Hazy golden with an off-white head. Unclean and slightly tart fruit aroma. Medium-bodied, lightly tart unclean fruit and a somewhat astringent finish. Not very impressive. 040408

Bottle. Hazy golden coloured with a medium sized white ehad. Fruity aroma of malts, grain and caramel. Skunky flavour of malts, fruits and caramel with bitter notes, Bitter finish.

Hazy golden with no head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavor is sweet, with citrus notes. Ends sweet.

50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy with a fully diminished white head. Light bitterhops aroma. Light grainy note. Flavour is light fruity hops going into a light liqourice note and a mild dry bitterness. Ends dry and fruity.

Cask in Keswick. Aroma is pale malts, but with chocolate malts, wierd concidering its very light coloured. Taste is similar like a pale golden bitter with floural hops balancing but dominated by choclate malt?

Bottle @ Cockney, Aarhus. Pours a light pale golden with a small foamy white head. Lots of lacing. Aroma is sweet, some ’wet dog’ and lots of grass. Flavour has lots of grass, flowers, herbs and pine (that is, lots of dry hops). Nice, dry feel to it.
