Amber coloured with some sour fruit and malt aromas. Strong in alcohol. Smooth on the palate with a bitter hop finish. Hildigöltur (5109), København, Denmark Nov 11, 2003 [Cask conditioned] Rather boring English ale. It's too thin and watery. Bitter finish. Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 23, 2003 A dark orange or light amber beer with a bubbly disappearing head. The aroma is slightly sweet - too light for my liking. The flavor is a funny sweet malty caramel mixed with bitter hops. Which makes it end on a good bitterness. All in all it tastes a little weird - I wonder if it is the Wye Valley yeast that has a role in it?
