July 2017: Cask from the wood, halfpint, at the SPBW 1st National Woodfest, Castleford. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of fruity hops, notes of citrus and tropical fruits. Distinct hoppy flavour, fruity with a piney finish. Could use a bit more of malty body, though. Still a good beer.

Shared bottle at RBNAG 2011. ABV 4.0%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Uninteresting typical industrial pale lager aroma and flavour, but not offensive. Thin body. Next, please! Rerate, 480 ml can, from EkoMarket, Stavanger. ABV is now 4.5%. The beer clearly benefits from a somewhat higher ABV. Maybe not a great beer, but not bad either. Clearly drinkable.
