One travel regret I have is I could have seen Fidel Castro on Cuba's annual National Day parade, exactly 24 years ago today, but I had a lie-in, in Havana instead. This beer helps the reminiscing, it's lovely and smooth in the palate, with plenty of body for its strength. Hints of citrus and a mild strewed fruitiness, quite warming stuff really.

Bottle. High Peak Beer and Wine. Hazed gold. Has that Torrside homebrew look about it. Decent thin sticky white foam though. Nose has light smoke (contains oak smoked wheat). Overripe oranges. Herbal notes along the lines of new sage leaves. Quite earthy overall. But fruity too. Taste semi sweet with a good dose of herbal bitterness. Good body for the 4% and drinks easy and tasty. Nicely rounded bitter finish. Nice one.
