Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub, Tampere.
Pours a copper colour without a head. Aroma of toasted malts, grass and hay. Light flavour of toasted malts, floral hops, nuts and dried fruits. Light bodied, slick mouthfeel and a malty, light fruity finish. Your average bitter.

Aroma is fruity with bready malt and hints of hay. Flavour has some fruity hops with flowery notes and bready malt. Rather fruity but otherwise quite typical real ale.

Cask (gravity dispense) at the Pigs Ear Beer Festival, London on 6 December 2006. Amber colour. Clammy, slightly raw malt aroma. Slightly fruity aroma. No great hop presence. Thin mouthfeel. Anonymous standard bitter and didn’t seem in great shape - possibly rather green. Flagged for re-rate.

Hazy golden color. Just a light caramel flavor, dryish final, very light vegetables. Too simple.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask-conditioned at the summer beer festival, The Royal Oak, Bath 19/7/08. This was too sweet for me. Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head. Big caramel and red fruit aroma. Flavour was sweet, with some graininess, toffee and a short bitter finish. No more than ok.

Cask (Pullman, Helsinki)
Orangy, thin head. Sharp slightly fruity and sour and nutty malty aroma. Mild carbonation. Taste is also sharp, and powerfully malty - raw and sour mashy. Also got hints of nuttiness and even some ginger. Pukka Best, back to the style of the 80s or before. Tasty and refreshing.

A Mes rate:
Gravicask @ Reading Beer Festival. Dark golden colour, almost amber. Surprising roasted malt nose. Tarty malt flavour that is not particularly refined. Could have been much better.
