Bottle. Slow gusher. Hazy amber with a large white head . A few chunks. Aroma of grapefruit, lemon, barely ripe peach and gooseberry, bread. 7+ Medium bodied. Really far too fizzy - better after a swirl, but still. Soft bread with lots of citrus (mainly grapefruit and blood orange) and resin. Not particularly clean and the quite bitter finish doesn’t hang onto the nice citrus flavours for as long as hoped. But the hops are very nice. Odd minor licorice note right at the end after the bitterness creeps up a bit more. Slightly frustrating - not sure the bottle conditioning has helped put its best foot forward.
