Theydon_Bois (2957) - The ’Sham, Surrey, - FEB 2, 2013
Gravity dispense/stillage at the Tin Goose - LHR T1, 25/01/13. Clear dark golden copper with a thin off white head that retains. Nose is a little subdued, caramel malt, berry fruits, sugars, hint of plum. Taste carries a touch more depth, caramel malt, biscuit, dough, faint ribena notes. Medium in body, moderate carbnonation, some bitterness in the dry finish. Ok.

Lilja (952) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 14, 2013
Smak och doft av humle, malt. Frisk, syrlig men lite för bitter och för lite eftersmak. Tunn kropp.

Ferris (484) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 6, 2013
Cask - Roasted grains on the nose. Clear amber with a nice thick off white head. Roasted grains, light hops and a very almost non existent bitterness. Very light and easily sessionable, just very tasteless and no body at all.

Chestnut brown with medium head, light carbonation for a real easy not to strong with a hoppy finnish beer.
