Bottle shared some time past best before date. Slight hazy golden with white head. Lots of lychees, sweet malts, light grass and herbs. Medium sweet and light bitter. I guess some of the bitterness has gone. It’s still quite fruity though. Just medium bodied. Past it’s prime, but still not bad.

Handpump at Craft Beer Co - Covent Garden, London. Deep gold clear pour, off-white foam. Nose: English malt signature, a bit smoky kind of dusty room. Barley leftovers! Lovely! Mouth: Rich barley, easy drinking, oxidation (ripped cherries). Bitter aftertaste. England on forever! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottled (from Alko, Vaasa). Goldeny amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild toffeeish notes as well as some pine. Flavour is pine, fruity, floral, some resin as well as some slight sweet, but crisp maltiness to it. Wellbalanced, and refreshing.
