Bottle bought at Kew Gardens, drunk at home. Colour is dark gold, looks the tiniest bit hazy, with a tight white head. Some gooey malt in the aroma alongside the light citrus notes. Perfectly balanced taste, sweet and juicy with contained bitterness in the short to medium finish. I didn’t expect to like this as much as I did, partly due to previous rates, partly due to the ’English hop’ malarkey. But this is incredibly well done.

Bottle at level 42, thanks to Dan. It pours hazy dirty gold - amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh bread, earth, grain and candied citrus peel. The taste is quite mellow, earth, wood, dried fruits, brown bread and leather. Medium body and fine carbonation. Easy going, if a touch boring. OK golden ale.
