 Svesse (1709), Hässelby, Sweden
Sep 6, 2007 (Cask at Duke of Hamilton, Hampstead, London, 6 Aug 2007) Golden yellow colour with brief head. Fruity nose with sweetish notes of mandarin and apricots. Fruity taste with mandarin, apricots and grassy, floral hops in the finish. Rather thin. Too much malt sweetness takes the edge of the delicate hops. Summery, but fairly boring.

Sep 5, 2007 Cask, Jan Primus. Slight hazy golden color, short head. Aroma is very fruity of pear, apricot and citrus, some pilsner malt, some flowery hops. Bit dry and slight bitter, fruity and slight sour even. Not bad.
Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England
Jul 31, 2007 Cask conditioned @ Humble Plumb, Soton. Sweet pale malts, fruity yeast and a little chalk. Tends towards cloying.
downender (1533), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
Jun 26, 2007 Cask conditioned. Golden coloured with a moderate white head. Slight caramel aroma followed by sweet malt flavours and a hint of a hoppy finish. An easy enough session beer for hot weather but rather lacking in character.
duff (5405), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England
Feb 19, 2006 Cask. Sweet, creamy mouthfeel, with a slight hop bitter finish. Not too much going on it has to be said, but its refreshing enough.
