Taster from a bottle at the Brewery shop, 30/03/18. Almost translucent with a faint yellow hue. Nose is sweet syrups, honeydew melon, sugar cane, light booze fumes. Taste comprises sweet honey, vanilla, throat lozenge, icing sugar, Cherry bakewell glaze. Full bodied, oily feel, warming alcohol in the close. Decent enough sipper.

500ml bottle. Watery very pale yellow colour, no head and aroma of light honey, sugar, melon, alcohol. Taste is sweet, sugary, light honey, melon, some grassiness and alcohol. Slightly syrupy mouthfeel, surprisingly light bodied, low carbonation, warming finish. Quite sippable.
