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.

2/12/2020. Bottle sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers. Pours clear golden with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of fruit, toffee, raisins, fruit cake, grain, yeast, alcohol. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, soft carbonation. Warming fruity finish. Quite liked it.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 17/11/20. Clear golden with a moderate white cap of bubbles. Nose is mellow fruit esters, light breads, grains. Taste comprises dusty fruits, toasted malts, crackers, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable golde affair.

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!

500ml Bottle - Hazy amber in colour. Apricot, orange and a hint of caramel in the aroma. Hoppy and fairly dry taste with orange, caramel, apricot and some biscuity notes.
