Commercial Description:
Cask; Occasional - most recently March & April 2007.
NOTE: Only ratings of the cask version should be entered here - the bottled version has a separate listing.
A tempting aroma of biscuity malt, floral hops, vanilla and toffee, with hints of citrus fruit. A very refreshing, drinkable and well balanced India Pale Ale.

From cask. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with fully gone almost white head. Mild fruity and slight malty base flavour. Light bitter and refreshing fruity accent. Biter and rather dry finish yet with a mild fruity hops note.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pale golden. Fruity nose with a hint of sulphur. Sugary with some boiled peas. The mouthfeel is raw and fairly mellow. Reminding of a Sirvenos, a Lithuanian beer brewed partly from peas. There’s some stale hops in the finish. Although it shows no signs of being out of shape, I must say that this is one of the cask ales I’ve enjoyed the least.

<i>2008-11-03, cask conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Shakespear’s Head, London, 6-4-8-4-16=38</i>
Amber color; medium-thin creamy head, persistent. Mild aroma of caramel and hops. Good body strength, with sweet caramel flavor; the hopping is a bit fruity, in the end there is some flavor of macadamia nuts, lightly buttery. The final is pleasant, with nice hops (between a 4 and a 5). Well balanced. Very good.

<i>2003-11-29, cask conditioned, 1st pint of the barrel, 6-4-8-5-15=38</i>
Hazy orange color. The aroma, malty, is still light, but the flavor is very interesting, sweet, bitter and fruity, much more harmonious than the American IPAs. Long strong final.
