Thanks Simon. Floral smooth nose. Bitter dry, creamy dense. Grainy body, intense bitterness with round and mild bitter Ale graininess. Nice and rich.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a hazy amber colour with a large foamy white head. Faint aromas of biscuits, citrus and floral. Taste is very biscuity with some caramel, a citrus bite and earthy hops on the finish. Medium to full body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Not the most Christmasy of beers but still a good traditional English Ale.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden with a light haze. Slightly off-white head. Dark, floating chunks of yeast at the end of the pour. Nose - lemon, lemon curd, with a hint of grapefruit. Generally, a bit custardy. Taste - lemon to grapefruit again, with still something a little custard-like going on too. Palate - light bodied, creamy texture. Good bitterness on the finish. Overall - quite good. Doesn't make me think Christmas, mind!
