Bottle online from The Hobsons Brewery. Pours an almost clear amber colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Aromas of caramel, nuts, toasty bread, biscuits and a sweet citrusy note. Taste has the same notes detected in the aroma with added apricots, tea, peppery spice and orange peel on the hoppy finish. Thin to medium body, low carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Nice and different.
