Bottle at home in London - picked up at the M&S on Oxford St. Pours crystal clear yellow-gold, lightly effervescent, with a frothy white head. Bready, crackery malts in the nose, some lemon rind, dough, hay. Light-medium sweet flavor with dry and crispy crackers, more bitter hay, slight grass. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with lightly sugary biscuits, moderate bitterness hay and grass, sun-kissed cereal, lemon rind. Interesting stuff. Pretty drinkable overall.

50cl bottle. pale straw, ring of white head; moderate carbonation; complex aroma, citrus, vanilla and oak; soft grainy body with some grapefruit bitterness; and a reasonable length of finish with some dry biscuit and lingering vanilla. A lot better than I was expecting.
