Bottle, 8C. Mid-brown with an off-white head. Surprising aroma of oranges and grass above toast and dried fruit. Fairly light-bodied, higher carbonation than you’d expect from a brown ale, but this is a bit different and it works well. Sweet caramel and some toast, dried fruit - not that I’d have guessed actual dates in 20 guesses - with quite bright grassy and zesty citrus. Quite dry at the end with moderate bitterness. One I’ve walked past many times - more fool me. Original and fine autumnal drinking.

(Bottle) Clear amber brown with slight white head. Lovely fresh aroma of pine with lime / citrus hints. Medium body lightly carbonated. Nice sweet well rounded start - malty (and as I know they are there I can believe dates too but would never have identified them, except the sweetness is more than just malt). The rich start gently mellows through the palate and when it has almost ebbed away a lovely fresh hoppy bitterness steadily takes it’s place. It’s far from intense but very pleasant. A somewhat unusual beer that works very well.
