Bottle from M&S Waverley consumed on a severely overcrowded Virgin train to Birmingham - Out of the bottle! Appearance is unknown. Medium bodied. Smooth & soft on the palate with a faint tickle over the tongue. Bitter overstewed fruit, pith, grapefruit & tangy tastes with malty backbone & almost DIPA like finish.

Bottle at home picked up from Watford M&S. A mostly clear golden orange coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is semi sweet biscuit malts, light toffee, orangey piney hop, tangerine. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, resinous hop, piney, spicy hop, orange peel. Palate is semi sweet, piney resin, moderate carbonation. Fine.

12 oz bottle purchased as a single at Lukas Liquors in Overland Park, Kansas. Date is stamped on the lower part of the bottle, though I can’t read it. The pour is a hazed orange golden with a foamy one inch white head. The aroma is grass, dry floral, and some fruit malt. The taste is cracker malt, sort of a dried fruit citrus, and the dry floral towards the back. The palate is medium bodied, active carbonation and the floral finish. I’m not sure this was terribly fresh, but still tasty.

Bottle (thanks fatphil). Pours golden. Aroma is fruity, cucumber, citrus. Flavor is sweet and bitter, fruits, citrus, sugar, grapefuit. Finish is sugary and dry. Overall: drinkable, but clearly past it's prime.
