COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special - Monthly beer for August 2006.
Sometimes known as the Punch Ladle, Fathom the Bowl is an ancient drinking song that covers drinking around the world, quoting cider and beer from England. There is traditionally a toast to follow the song:

Here’s to the large bee that flies on high
The small bee gathers honey
The poor man does all the work
And the rich man pockets the money

Fathom the Bowl has a reddish hue with a good balance of hops from Kent, Hereford and Worcestershire

Ungstrup (26476) - Citizen of the universe, - AUG 30, 2006
[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy dark orange beer with a bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops and fruit. The flavor is very fruity and rather hoppy, as well as lightly grassy, leading to a dry and very bitter end, where the hops makes them self known with flowery notes. But the body is a bit thin.

Hazy dark amber color. Quite nice aroma; the flavor is better, malty, fruity (apples), caramel, a bit woody. The final is well bitter, with a lot of caramel and light fruitness. A fruity Bitter.

Cask conditioned at Charlies. Dark amber coloured. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Sweetish fruity flavour with a very bitter finish. Nice.
