Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours hazy lemon yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is juicy, sweet, tangy, candied lemon, pineapple chunks, yellow plum and lemon curd sandwiches. The taste is smooth, slightly green, floury bread, lemon curd, mango, pineapple, nectarine, boiled sweets, plum and starburst with a soft finale. Average body and soft, fluffy carbonation. Easy going fruity number. Decent.

Bottles from House Of Trembling Madness. Amber body with a light haze and a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of raisin, strawberry syrup and toffee. Flavour of malt sweetness, black pepper and a whack of bittering hops. Medium to full body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A hoppy, peppery barley wine. I’m glad I bought a couple more bottles.

Bottle. My first in a number of years; a pleasure to find it again. Nose is malty, bread, brown sugar, a resinous, hoppy pine.

Taste is big resin, pine, grapefruit, honey, leading to brown sugar, a hint of vanilla, more pine, , dough, malt, and a peppery pine finish.

It's a wonderful beer and I have missed it.
