fiulijn (5695), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Mar 18, 2008 2008-03-03, cask conditioned at Rover, Göteborg, 7-4-6-3-14=34 It has a light amber color and a persistent layer of foam. The aroma is good, malty and fruity too, with a lot of nice caramel or fudge. The flavor has basic caramel, less interesting than I expected by the aroma. It has a strong bitterness, with some resins in the end. Ordinary Bitter, but still better than most of the latest ones I had in Copenhagen.
2008-02-15, cask conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen, 7-4-7-4-14=36 Amber color, frothy head. A pleasant Ale, quite refreshing and earthy, with good caramel/toffee flavor and strong bitterness. Well brewed, well balanced, good.
bobinlondon (215), Harrow, Greater London, England Jul 6, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Watford. Amber with white head. Still a good beer. Nice fresh hoppy taste. tlind2 (170), Helsinki, Finland Jun 17, 2008 Draught@Kaisla, Helsinki. Amber color, nearly no head. Flowery hop aroma. Smooth bitter taste, malty finish. Not a bad bitter, but I’ve had better. Maria (3816), Thisted, Denmark Jun 6, 2008 Cask. Golden with a nice, white head. It must be 4 years since I tasted this in a bottle version, and I had a hard time with some cheese and ginger notes, as I described them. It must have been the hops, I presume. The aroma has malt, caramel and fruity notes with a hint of earthy squash/pumpkin. The flavour has pretty much the same notes and a light sweetness and bitterness. It still strikes me as a bit odd, but much better than I remember it. KimJohansen (2460), Copenhagen V, Denmark May 20, 2008 Deep amber with tiny head. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel and floral hops. Ends mild bitter. Bragesnak (974), Aarhus, Denmark May 18, 2008 Ølfestival, Aarhus, DK.
