500ml bottle from Lapworth Wines. Glowing clear gold with off white head, nice lasting top. Aroma is bready malts, light spice and floral. Taste is caramel, some doughy notes with a strong grassy to floral hoppy bitterness which grows to the finish with a slight tanginess. Dry and somewhat astringent. Not great but not terrible.

500ml bottle; BB 28th May 2021. Drank at home on 1st Sep 2020. Clean body, old gold in colour, white crown. Nice hoppy feel to this without it going overboard with bitterness of citrus flavours. Malts play their part too, pleasant IPA all round.
