Conditioned bottle (4.1%) at Deeside Drinks Emporium. Gusher! It pours clear orange-amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is wood, orange, tangerine, spice and gingerbread. The taste is waxy orange, grapefruit, pithy lemon, wood, earth, spice and metal with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice citrusy session ale.
