500ml bottle: part of a three ’Moon Gazer’ pack. All three shared with my father on 22nd Aug 2016 at his place. As the name might suggest, this is an amber coloured beer: the head a white affair. The nose had a malty, toffee lead, as did the taste: some fruity flavours appear mid-sip. Decent.

[500ml Bottle from the Norfolk Farm Shop at Taverham, Norfolk] Deep amber with a slight beige head and a slight fizz. Lemon up front then growing caramel and fruity malt. Nice and fresh and refreshing, but just a little spoiled by a hint of metal in the moderately bitter finish. Srill, a better-than-average bitter.
