500ml bottle from East of England Co-Op Foodstore, shared with Cunningham on the train from Norwich to Chelmsford. Clear amber coloured body. Covering white head. Caramel malty nose. Malt-fruity flavours of orange, dough and toffee. Rounded bittersweet tail. True to the style and pretty alright. (18.02.2017).

500ml bottle from Ken Warne, Darlington. Golden amber colour with a white foam head leaving some lacing and aroma of orangey citrus hop aroma. Taste is malt, caramel, toffee, orange citric, floral hop with resiny and tangy bitterness. Slightly oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry lingering bitter finish. Quite OK.
