First up, this one is gluten free, so a real treat for any celiacs out there. Amber in colour with a creamy head and a malty tangerine aroma. Strong malt flavours with nicely balanced bitterness, some slight floral and citrusy notes.

Bottle from the Adnams shop in Woodbridge. Pours almost clear amber with an average sized frothy white head which left good lacing. Aroma of hop, malt, citrus, caramel and grass. Moderate sweetness, and light to moderate bitterness. Medium to light body, texture slightly oily/watery, with average to soft carbonation. Slight floral and bitter finish. Not bad.
