Pint from cask. Amber body, not much head. Lots of hops and malt. Very sugary, but the hops cut through.

Cask, JDW, 4th April 2008. Orange amber with a vanila & malt aroma and flavour. Average weight. A bit too like a vanilla soda and very forgettable.

Cask Conditioned at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Deep blond color, frothy head. The aroma is a bit soapy, and the flavor light and breadish. Too simple.
