Bottle, 5.3% at ÅBF08. Weak malt aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Hoppy aroma.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 20/6/08. Deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of caramel, elderflowers and citrus hops. Flavour began with a touch of sweet malt followed by spicy hops with a hint of pine. The finish was long and satisfyingly dry. Very good.

(Real ale) Pours a little hazy, copperish colour. Very multi-dimensional taste. Has hops with notes of fruits and spices. A bit grassy end. Quite bitter. An excellent brew.

[cask] Sherry, oak, bourbony vanilla aroma. Almost clear deep gold with lasting bubbles on top. Boubon and vanilla are strong in the flavour together with a medicinal chocolate. Assertive bitterness that almost puts this beer off balance. Very low diacetyl. Light to medium body with a tiny bit of lasting bitterness. Slightly more carbonation than some other cask beers.

Bottle. Hazy yellow with a small off-white head. Fruity tangerine aroma. Sweet and malty flavour.

Bottle Conditioned. A real orange body when poured. Good citrus hoppy, aroma. Plenty of fruit in the taste with hops with a noticeable dry bitter finish.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet fruity with caramel and mild hoppy notes. Ends with discrete bitterness.

Århus2008 50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing white head. Light hoppy aroma. Flavour is light hoppy with a light towards rather subdued fruity note. Mild bitterness and sweetness into the finish. Light dry and hoppy in the far finish.
