Skinnyviking (2596), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 15, 2008 Cask. Fluffy but lasting white head. Lemon herbal aroma. Mildly hopped flavor with lemon and nuts. Low carbonation. Short bitter aftertaste. berkshire_john (1035), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Jan 15, 2008 Cask at the Carousel Lounge, Hythe, Kent. A rather unpleasant brew; gold with an thin off-white head; unusual herbal aromatic aroma; thin bodied with a mdeicinal vegetable flavour; little noticable finish. Perhaps just a bad pint.
