harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England Jun 6, 2007 Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 2007. Gold, bubbly white head. Golden bitter, decent citrus on finish, which turns slightly spicy. Fine. Svesse (1920), Hässelby, Sweden Aug 9, 2006 (Cask at Marble Arch, Manchester, 28 July) Colour is golden yellow with little head. Nose is fruity with lots of citrus (mostly lemon, but some grapefruit as well) and a grassy hop aroma. Same goes for the taste: fruity with grapefruit and lemon, long bitter (citrus style hop taste) finish. Some sweetness, but well balanced by the citrus. Very nice, hoppy and summery. TBone (5261), Pori, Finland Jul 29, 2006 Draught@brew pub.
Pale yellow, good white head. Mild fruity hoppy nose, touch of vanilla and trefoil. Fruity, middle-of-road bitter, tasty one.
