From cask at the Society Room. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Light malty and caramelish aroma. Flavour is light roasted with a light diacetyl note and slight bitter. Light bitter and mild malty finish with a vague acidic touch.

[Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear golden. Concentrated hay aroma. Soft and medium bodied. Malt is there to support and lay a soft foundation, but hops make up most of the flavour - hay is dominant. Medium bitterness.
