Can from a 'Farm Shop' at Gloucestershire motorway services! Clear chestnut colour with some off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, flora, spice, orange zest. Taste has a dry malt nuttiness with spice and then a lighter modest hoppy flora and orange come in. Near medium bodied, drying, moderate bitterness. Decent bitter.

Bottle from The Farm Shop, Gloucester M5 Motorway Services. Pours a clear light chestnut colour with a thin off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee and a touch of orange. Taste has more of the same notes again, lots of caramel, slightly buttery with some added toasty bread and floral hop. Thinnish body, fair carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Quite tasty for the low abv.
