3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted this in The Esquire House, Glasgow (JDW) in August 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear dark copper in colour with a tight creamy buff white head. Green apple fruit in the short aroma with a whiff of hydrogen sulphide. Nice creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Malty overtones from the pale malt base with crystal malt evident. Digestive biscuit malt with dry raisin fruit. Metallic note of hop resins present in the aftertaste but short in intensity. Robust malty finish with caramel notes. An excellent session ale and well recommended.

2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours clear golden amber with a medium, creamy, white head. Fair duration. Mild flowery hops aroma, light caramel sweetness. Soft green apple. High carbonation, a bit thin and watery. Flavour is soft flowery bitter, some sweet caramel. Really boring.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, not BC. Honey amber with a slightly billowy off white head that falls away quickly. Aroma of copper, chocolate and faint vegetative/hazelnut traces. Pleasant fruitiness upfront like fresh green apple, leading into caramel, slight peaty malt, ash and chocolate on the end. Understated, enjoyably fruity effort with a wisp of smoke.
