Juicy, exciting fruit flavours before an intense bitterness as sharp as a Macaw’s screech.

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 500ml (Alko)
Clear golden-amber color, small steady white head and some lace. Like description says, there is "rubbery" peach in the nose. Light-bodied. Gooseberries, sweetish peachy fruityness but same time also kind of harsh overall. Hard mouthfeel. Ok but not as good as expected.
