Many thanks to Nathalie for the bottle! Pours clear dark golden with a lasting, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe mandarin, lime, yellow grapefruit, yeast, toasted white bread, shallot. Taste has sweet mandarin & apple, bitter grapefruit peel, some pine, zesty sour touch on a yeasty & bready malty base. Dry, earthy hoppy finish, lots of citrus & yeast. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Good but a bit too easy-drinking.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Amber with a thin white head leaving lots of lacing on the glass; grainy aroma; crisp, lemony, taste with a grainy body, and some honey adding to the weight. A pleasant, wintery version of a summer ale.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear gold with lasting white head. Im in a pretty nihilistic mood so this had better be pretty good or im gonna rip the legs off of it. Its ok. Some interesting fruit flavours. Not much hop. Not really bitter either. Honestly whatever happened to bitter beers? Soft. Safe. Ok bit better than average
