Bottle from Waitrose. Pours a clear golden colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Aroma is slightly metallic with notes of citrus lemon. Taste has more citrus lemon, bread and caramel. Nice earthy hop bitterness on the finish but also a bit metallic. Thin to medium body with a fairly smooth mouthfeel. Not bad but like a lot of Shepherd Neame beers i would prefer if they were not in clear bottles.

Foamy white head stayed on a clear amber body. Fruity aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Fruity, English hops, light malt & hints of butterscotch.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden amber with a big fluffy off-white head. Nose - caramel, brown bread, marmalade. Taste - light orange, but mainly caramel and biscuit. Palate - close to medium bodied, a touch sweeter than preferable. Overall - ok.

12/12/2019. Bottle(s) at Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration, Covent Garden, London WC2 (there was limited choice). Clear golden coloured with a small just off-white head. Aroma of fruit, malt, grain, caramel and flowers. Medium plus sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average to soft carbonation. Nicer bittersweet finish which improved it as it took some of the sweetness away. It’s ok.

Cast at the Spanish Galleon in Greenwich. Pours coppery gold with a white head. Aroma reminds of apples. Medium body or so. Flavor is mildly roasty malt with floral and an apple note. Lightly bitter. Dryish. Rather nice taste and not an APA in MHO.
