hughie (2286), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Sep 20, 2008 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber with a small white head. Remarkable sweet aroma of boiled sweets and my dad’s hair oil c.1955. Odd ashy cardboard taste with that sweet, fruity blackcurrant or strawberry flavour persisting. Not much bitterness. Very odd. I’m on the fence about this one. Rune (1812), Tromsų, Norway Sep 2, 2008 Cask served at a perfect drinking temperature at the Theakston Brewery Bar, GBBF 08. Golden body. No head. Dark fruity smell. Taste of strawberries with additional hints of apricot. Watery texture and a very average bitter (half pint shared with Geir, 007.08.2008). Skinnyviking (2725), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 16, 2008 Cask. Creamy off-white lasting head. Hazy golden body. Fruity flavor that is hard to distinguish. Pineapple peaches raspberries flavor. Low carbonation, short aftertaste. Very sweet overall impression. renffisch (457), london, Greater London, England Feb 18, 2008 pint @ brewery tap wim village. according to the bar staff if has blueberries in it :-) lovely fruit flavours, aniseed, blackcurrant and liquorice but with a slightly too bitter finish ChristianScheffel (2250), Odense, Denmark Jan 7, 2008 Cask at GBBF. Light amber beer with a lasting white head. Blackcurrant aroma almost to the point of resembling Ribena, with notes of grass and caramel. Ribena also shows up in the sweet flavour with a touch of black tea.
