<i>Comments:</i> Very dark and foamy, feeling English enough, yet sharply hopped and dry. Very cold service temperature! Cask-like palate, almost flat, yet tremendous head.
fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 2, 2006 <i>Draught at the brewpub, sold as Tostada</i><br />Hazy golden color. Light malt aroma. Quite fresh taste: imperfect version of a fruity Golden Ale from England; medium malt, but nice hops. jbrus (4306), Delft, Netherlands May 22, 2006 Bottled. Aroma is sweetish, floral and typical cascade hops. Hazy, orange color, off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, light bitter, very floral, grass finish. Light sticky start and dry finish.
