Bottle, for which there’s a separate entry but sod that. Picked up at the Adnams shop in Holkham. One of those you’re surprised you never ticked yet. Anyhoo. Malty with light citrus peel. Drinks fine.

500ml bottle from Morrisons online. Clear amber, small off white head, minimal retention. Aroma is faint malts and stewed fruit; bog standard. Taste is like aroma, quite basic a bit thin, some biscuit malts and light raisin and orange zest. Not the best, but perfectly refreshing and drinkable.
