2016 catch up - A good strong bitter. Very nice and actually quite refreshing. A good bitterness of hops and a nice strength from the alcohol.

500ml bottle from M&S, the Gyle. Pours clear yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light citrus, pale malt, faint spice. Taste is more citrus and light sweet malt. Gets a bit buttery down the glass.

500ml bottle into pint glass. Smells of earth, peppery hops, a little malt. Cloudy orange beer with solid white head. Laces well. Some tiny bubbles rise. Full bodied and flat, immediate taste is sweet malt but soon followed by bitter fruity hops. The finish is long, dry, bitter with a slight balancing malt sweetness underneath. Flavours develop a little as it warms. Good, tasty bitter.
