Bottled. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is fruity, nectary, mildly marzipan and also quite pleasant maltyness. Flavour is floral and fruity hoppyness with some mild nectary, bready and caramelly notes. Pleasant session bitter full of flavour. Also some mild nuttyness towards the finish.

500ml bottle from M&S. Gold slight haze, very thin off white head. Some mixed citrus fruit aroma. OK in mouth, bit metallic on the carbonation, some decent fruit on end. It’s an averagely good bitter, one of the better ones in the range

Amber with a short-lived, slight off-white head. Crisp malt aroma, with a touch of fruit and some grassy hops. Slightly sweet malt flavour with a floral edge and decent bitter finish. Good.
