(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with orange, dried apricots, biscuity malt, floral hops and strange hints of broth. Fruity taste with notes of orange peel, mandarin and a delicate citrussy/earthy bitterness in the finish. Solid malt foundation to balance the hops. Well constructed, nice and refreshing.

Handpulled cask at the Crosse Keys(JDW), Monument, London during their recent international beer fest. Pale gold with a fine unsparkled white head and loads of lively condition. Rich malt to start with a citrussy hop finish. Very drinkable.

cask @ kingston bf 08. Very grassy sweet floral nose with mineral and clay notes. Greenish yellow, very little thin white rim. Almost tastes of dandilion milk, very bitter indeed, still veryflowery. good dry mouthfeel, but too herbal for me.
