Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from online, maybe RadBeer. It's an attractive beer, pouring clear honey-gold with a fluffy, off-white head. Medium sweet flavour with rich ripening citrus, some honeysuckle flowers, faint bread and caramel, an almost funky note too, light leafy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Surprisingly clean in the finish, with more floral notes, light pine and honey, background bready malts, some further leafy and grassy hops, some woody dryness, a vague impression of berries. It is complex stuff, there's a lot to get out of it. A nice departure from the heavy, sweet barley wines that seem so common. This one has an impressive cleanliness about it.

Bottle. Nose is whiskey, fruity, honey, hints of apples and orange. Taste is malty, whiskey, hints of smoke, herbal almost medicinal hop note, marmalade, almond / marzipan, faint vanilla, touch of pepper and rye spice, and more whiskey in the finish. Mouthfeel is slick, very enjoyable.
