(010508) Rune (1663), Tromsø, Norway Apr 1, 2008 Half of this strong pale ale on cask at Turf Tavern, Oxford. Clear, golden-brown body. No head at all. Fruity hops to the nose. Initial grassy hops building up to a light sappy taste of oranges and grapefruits mixed with malts. Weak bitter ending (17.03.2008). Doppelganger (1126), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Mar 17, 2008 Cask, Turf Tavern, Oxford. Light peachy gold, soapy white head. Peardrop and pineapple aroma. Sweet, light fruit flavor, a little tartness, pineapple. Some good fresh flavors here, but the building sweetness really upsets the balance, and halfway through the pint I was thinking a half pint would have been plenty.
