Bottle at home in London - picked up via Ocado. Pours clear orange-gold with a fine, creamy head. The nose holds toasted wholegrain bread, a little caramel, dried berries. Light to medium sweet flavour, with light bitterness of grain husk, faint earth, some toasted caramel, more bread, berries, strawberry. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, with more toasty grains, dried and lightly leathery berries, mellow toffee. Fun stuff overall.

Bottle thanks to a neighbour. Pours amber with a thin white head. Aromas of caramel and little else. Taste is watery and bland. Thin finish.
