500ml bottle: BBD Oct 2017 (part of a three bottle gift of different beers): poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 22nd Dec 2016. Light amber/orange colour, clean. clear and bright: the head was white but soon just a wisp and collar. Caramel notes just about rule the nose and taste with barley sugar being a close contender: there is also a bitterness that tries to level out the sweetness (fails but tries). Gimmick Christmas beer really, treated as such it’s not a problem, but do not expect a classic or world beater of a beer tp come out of the bottle. my sweet tooth almost liked it!

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a fluffy head that disappears quickly. Nose - lemon and a touch of herb. Taste - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Perhaps a little sweet but could be worse. Palate - Overall - solid enough.

500ml bottle from the brewery online shop. Last one! Pours clear gold, with a rocky white head. Aromas are sweet sugar, usual lemon they all have. Taste is sweet. Soapy, again. Poor.
