[Cask at Stockholm Beer Festival 2003] The aroma is very hoppy. The color is a hazy orange and it has a fine but disappearing head. The flavor is very sweet and malty with strong orange notes. A great beer.

(On tap) Pale golden and hazy, no head. Incredibly light body, only a week hint of malt. Citrusy, sourish nose with pronounced sour flavours - almost vinegary. I thought this cask might be infected, but I can see from the other ratings that this is presumably, how it’s supposed to be. Just not for me. 050805
