[Cask at Charlie's Bar, Copenhagen] The aroma is sweet and hoppy. The color is a slightly hazy orange and it has a fine head. The flavor is sweet with notes of oranges and aroma hops. It ends on a great bitterness from great hops. All in all a great beer.

Cask@The Evening Star, Brighton. An absolute cracker. Not a Christmas style beer as such (i.e no spicy Christmas pudding type flavours), but a nicely hoped up pale ale (i guess close in style to an APA). Beautiful lychee/grapefruit hop aroma. Has a good balance between both sweet and bitter. Really lovely aromatic, hoppy ale. Fresh, with really good length of flavour.

Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Hazed Gold with white head. Poured straight from the barrel. Big, wonderfully flavoursome, clean, dry bitter, plenty going on with orange and grapefruit in the foreground and then a lemon rush, all on top of a clean dry malt as a carrier. Very tasty indeed.

[Cask conditioned] Deep orange coloured. Very hoppy and fruity aroma. Loads of exotic fruits in the nose. Extremely well balanced flavour with sweet pineapples and bitter hops. Long lasting bitter finish. Not much Christmas to it, but extremely fresh and tasty. Another superb effort from Crouch Vale.
