Amber ale with a hoppy nose. The taste is hoppy and quenching, with a light, malty sweetness. Dry, hoppy finish.

Bottled@my birthdaybash@Chriso. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, mild apples and some riped fruity notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather harsh and has got some kind of infection probably..

BCA, present from mate Bob picked up at beer shop in Wells-next-the-Sea. Poured amber, this was a good solid tasty bitter, very flavoursome, strength noticeable but drinks well, nice malty base, really enjoyable.
