Decent - looks good in glass, copper with good white head and sticky lacing. Floral hops and caramel on the note, solid malty flavour with some fruity hints and a little hoppy tartness. Not bad, not classic.

Bottle, bought &#64; Thorups Ølkælder, Århus.<br /> Pours hazy golden with a small, staying, creamy, white head. Sweet wet hoppy aroma, light maltiness - quite bready. Fine, creamy mouthfeel. Nice flavours, elegantly hoppy, dry, flowery feel, some bready malts and a little caramel. Actually quite a nice beer.

Gravity cask at Swindon Beerex08. Lovely aromas of vanilla and cereal, Flavours of milk chocolate and cereal with some balancing bittering hops. A different beast to the bottled version by the sound of it.

Bottle. Clear golden with a healthy head. Spicy and bready aroma. Good bitterness, rye bread flavours. Not bad.

Bottle &#40;in NZ&#41;, pours a slightly hazy amber with a white foamy head. Buttery malt on the nose with a fruity tang. The malty palate is again buttery, but becomes much more bitter and hoppier through the swallow. Like yalnikim say, probably a bit past its best.
