New best bitter from this brewery, tasted at GBBF (cask conditioned). Loose, coarse, off-white head over a deep peach blonde beer, lightly hazy. Pleasantly fruity aroma, hints of peach, pineapple and red apple peel, flowers, biscuit, something sweet sherry-like; sweetish fruity and caramelly taste, malty, with creamy, soft mouthfeel, a tad nutty in the middle, nicely balanced with elegant floral hop bitterness in the finish. Decent bitter.
