1/8/2019. Bottle from Bottle Mix, Kettering. Gusher! What was left poured slightly hazy golden orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, orange, hops, sweet malt, straw and light bready notes. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - elusive, some cornflakes. Taste - crunchy, nutty bread. Palate - close to medium bodied. Crunchy texture. Dry crunchy finish. Overall - quite challenging but ok.
