Typical wychwood aroma, light hops, caramel malts, and some sweet bread, and fruits. Woody notes, light mouthfeel, booze is a little bit there in the finish. Semi dry, and a good carb. finish is a little hoppy, with some more typical mineraly wychwood malts. Not bad, not great.

Bottle from Tesco. Clear amber body with a beige head. Fine carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of salted caramel, plum and brown bread. Flavour of raisin, wood and copper. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Sweet and bready. It’s just ok.

Light hopbitter background. Moderate sweet. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Bit creamy mouthfeel. Nice typical British ale.
