Cork and caged 0.75 litre bottle at the Dec 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Exchange group meeting; cheers Mat for this offering. Misty amber pour, the head an off-white affair. Hop centric brew with a fairly bitter nature, nose had floral, grassy notes; taste had a malt undertone overpowered by the bittering hops. OK.

75cl bottle from Auchan @ monthly tasting at Chez Sophie. Pours a hazy amber, foamy off-white head. Aroma of floral bitter with caramel. Taste is floral bitter hops, residual earthy caramel malt sweetness. Almost like a dry-hopped Biere de Garde.
