Bottle passed onto me by my neighbours Gary and Steph' amongst a leaving present box of beers (thanks you two!). Consumed at home, Attenkirchen, Thursday 2nd May 2019. Pours gold with a white head, nice very English style hoppy bitterness, but really good for it, I have realised how much I miss such a beer. Sweet but the finish is dry, a touch of honey and citrus. Very good. Would have liked to have tried this on draft if Indeed it ever was put in a cask. Just noticed that Glen has yet to rate this, wow.....

Bottle at home from my sister-in-law. An ideal temperature made for a perfect pour and an enticing aroma of citrus fruits. The taste was all about those rich fruits; orange, lemon and grapefruit with an emphasis on the rind rather than the pulp. This was very good and probably the best I have ever had from this brewery. A smooth mouthfeel rounded off a special beer. With the added bonus of some very pretty bottle art.
