750 wax topped bottle, picked up at the brewery by my mate, and Bradfield’s biggest fan, Mark. Cheers. Clear rose tinged pale amber. Very decent solid white swede. Nose has juicy puréed fruit. Whiff of port barrel. Not especially picking up any whisky barrel. Light sweetness first off. Touch of leafy bitterness. Smooth and nicely easy drinking. Nice level of bitterness to finish. Enjoyed this, and ordinarily I avoid Bradfield. Good to see them stepping out of a comfort zone.
