Bottle from the Blue Glass, Bedford. Was 500ml before it gushed all over the countertop so I had considerably less than that. Cress, oak, sarsaparilla and some astringency in the aftertaste. Sweet taste at first but this turns bitter and medicinal closer to the finish with a herby vegetal note. Long vegetal finish. Not the greatest - has a feel of home brew about it - but it certainly hits the spot on a Saturday night.
