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.

Malty taste with caramel, nuts, toast, dried apricots and a balanced earthy bitterness in the finish. Light body, quite dry. Tasty and well made bitter. Nice one.
