Can ordered from South Down Cellars, Haywards Heath. Aroma had warm earthy spice over restrained stone fruit. Hazy medium brown. Foamy light beige head. Medium bitter with a spicy edge and earthiness as per the aroma. Citrus sour edge which gradually gains some prominence. Medium bodied. Verging on creamy. Flat-soft carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable spicy and citrusy stuff.
