Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato da orzo tostato e luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. La limpidezza si presenta velata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo rosa e mandarino.

Bottle from The Farm Shop, M5 Gloucester Services. Pours a clear light golden colour with a one finger throthy white head. Aromas of citrus orange, biscuit malts and hints of floral hops. Taste is similar to the aroma with the same notes and a nice hoppy bitterness on the long finish. Medium body, low carbonation and very smooth mouthfeel. This is a good refreshing beer.
