Warming with a mellow fruit aroma featuring grapefruit and orange citrus tones combined with floral and herbal notes from the Styrian Goldings hop variety, leading to a dry bitter finish.

2016 catch up - bottle at home - To me there was a strong taste of caramel in the beer and it completely overpowered everything else. There was some malt and bitter hops, but the caramel was everywhere! Two drunk because they were part of the mixed pack, but this is not one that I would want again.

500 ml clear bottle, from a cornershop in London.ABV is 5.4%. Deep golden to amber colour, large white (or slightly off-white) head. Strong Heineken-like aroma of lightstruck hops, not unpleasant though. Also notes of nuts, toffee and caramel. Drunk too cold. The flavour is a bit on the sweet side, with nutty notes, some lightly roasted malts, and a little caramel.

Clear amber liquid, tall airy frothy off-white head. Good retention. Smells of caramel, biscuit & spicy hop. Light to medium body. Bittersweet taste. Caramel, massive harsh striking herbal bitterness. Long bitter hoppy finish. Quite decent but could use more smoothness.

Bottle from Sainsbury and drunk at home. Clear dark amber colour very thin layer of off white bubbles. Boiled sweet malt and some white pepper harsh hop aroma. OK in the mouth, slight sweetness. Some hop on the finish. It’s a bit boiled sweet like. No real Greene King yeast presence I guess due to the pasteurisation. Some bitterness on the finish. Not as good as the cask version. But ok and not unpleasant.
