4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask@GBBF2010. Slightly hazy goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is bigtime fruity and floral hops along with mild sap. Flavour is quite much the same along with mild sweet malts and alcohol. Quite much a fruity hop juice with some alcohol in it. Nice stuff.
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled. Pale amber, rich head. Lovely intense roma of grapefruit and lychee. Sweet with soft mouthfeel but clean flavour profile and an excess of sugar and syrup. Plenty of hops, but along with the pepperyalcohol it turns almost inky, and the finish is extremely bitter. Promising aroma, but severely out of balance - I want more malt, less sweetness and certainly less ink.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Havnens, Vejle
Unfortunately bottled in August 2010, 10 months old, ugh
Cloudy golden color; small head. Hoppy aroma, fruity, but also with the creamy and earthy touch of old IPAs. Good toffee flavor with evident earthy (manure) character; strong hopping, with god resins and some fruits, leading to a long final.
Good but probably unfresh.
