Bottle at home from M&S. Well chilled in the fridge with a brilliant pour and a huge head. The soft and fruity aroma of hops hit me immediately and brought a smile to my face and made me have a sip as quickly as possible. The taste was the same, gentle fruity hops and a sweetness from the malt. The mouthfeel was as smooth as velvet and this slipped down a treat. I guzzled it way too quickly, but it was a very good beer with drinkability turned up to 11.
