Borup (1345), Albertslund, Denmark Jun 22, 2009 Cask in London. Amber colour with a tiny white head. Aroma and flavour of hops and some fruit. austone (997), Turku; Pori, Finland May 28, 2009 Cask at BH, Pori. Clear amber, tiny but lasting pale head. Slightly appley, sweetish nose with some sugary toffee, very simple. Flavor is mineral salt, artificial apple-fruitiness, some cardboard, dryish and stuffy. Light bodied, low carbonation.Feels stale and bulky, cos that’s what it is. wheresthepath (523), Buckinghamshire, England May 26, 2009 [Cask at The Crown, Sheringham] Amber, slight white head. Snooth mouthfeel, possibly a little too cloying for a session bitter by the end. Fruity with some sulphur. Heaps better than the bland "Smooth" keg variant, but still pretty forgettable.
