Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden with attractive white lacing. Nose - honey and caramel, an edge of lemon and malt. Taste - a bit more lemon this time, but still plenty of the sweeter honey/caramel notes. Palate - light bodied, slightly sweet and cloying in the middle. A bit of bitterness on the finish though. Overall - it's a little sweet. However, there's just enough of a hint of lemony hops to keep you interested.
