Clear golden with a little yet lasting white head. Hop on the British side, resinous, very Golding characther. A bit yeasty. Bitter, quite harsh, some fruitiness. Dry finish. Almost no carbonation.

<i>Bottle at Cokney Pub, Århus</i><br />Clean deep blond color. Quite hoppy aroma, light manure in the beginning. Good caramel flavor, a bit harsh, with a prepotent hopping. Interesting.
