Cask (Bishops Arms Bellmansgaten, Stockholm)
Crisp fresh refreshing hoppy aroma. Similar palate - crisp. Similar taste too, uplifting fresh hops. Fruity and crisp hops, but great balance, has a lovely bready body backing it up. Great hoppy bitter.

Leighton (6931) - London, ENGLAND - JUN 10, 2012
Cask at CPK, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white head. Light buttery dough aroma, bread, certainly a does of diacetyl here. Medium sweet flavor with some lightly toasted dough. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Sweet on the finish with some light earth and grain, light pine. Nice enough, though the condition doesn’t seem optimal.

tiong (2238) - Espoo, FINLAND - MAR 7, 2013
330ml bottle from Ales by Mail

BBE 30 Jun 2013 - Pours dark orange with a bubbly white head. Aroma of piney hops, hints of grass and caramely malts. Taste is grassy, hoppy and bitter with piney notes and caramely malts. Finish is dry and bitter with some long lasting grassy hoppiness and hints of pine. Okay, a bit one-dimensional but still quite tasty APA.

jackl (2568) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 15, 2012
Cask @ CPK. Deep amber color with a small white head. The nose is orange and bright peach fruits, light grass and wet hay. The taste is much the same, summery fruits and light citrus with a grassy finish. The body’s medium, the carbonation soft. Overall, a tasty pale ale from Summer Wine. Not a standout, though.

Really bitter hop flavor, pine, perfume, floral and a bit metallic, hay, grapefruit, apples notes. On the verge of being onedimensional, but the bitterness is still pleasant. Grassy perfume finish with grapefruit and caramel notes.
