Bottle from M5 Gloucester Services,, Gloucestershire. Dark amber with a head. Has an amber-ale style bitterness with hints of orange peel. Its lower strength makes it fairly crisp and certainly easy in the palate.

500ml bottle @ Itadiki Zen. Pours clear amber, medium off-white head. Malty caramel nose. Taste is predominantly malty, leafy, bitter with some caramel and a defined nuttiness. Not my go-to style of bitter I have to say but there's plenty here for those that appreciate it.
