Bottle from Purely Cornish. It's simply called 'Shipwreck' but is the same strength. Appearance - deep golden with a light hop haze. Big fluffy white head. Nose - pine and grapefruit. A bit bready. Taste - a bit more malt bag this time, lacking the zest and pine of the nose. Really not much going on apart from malt or general cereal notes. Palate - creamy texture, light bodied. Dry finish. Overall - better nose than taste.
