Bottle from Co-op, Eastbourne. Pours a clear golden/amber colour with a thin white head. Aromas of caramel, spice, bread and biscuits. Taste has a lot more peppery spice, more caramel, bread and biscuits, hints of floral and a fair amount of earthy hops on the bitter finish. Thin to medium body with a slightly fizzy mouthfeel. Not bad.

Bottle bought at the Growlers & Cans stall, West Byfleet Farmer's Market. Aroma is sweet, almonds and glue. Golden brown. Bubbly frothy translucent white head is short-lived. Light-medium bitter. Sour berry edge. Actually quite tart. Underlying hints of malty sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Better than I was expecting - neither bland or overly sweet.
