Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Golden colour, white foamy head that quickly dissipates away and aroma of apple flesh, caramel note. Taste is sweet, appley, fleshy, tangy, funk, with some caramel, honey hints and drying tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet finish. Quite drinkable.

A 500ml bottle opened at home & poured into Liberation pint glass. 8th December 2015. It is a slightly spiced pale ale, with a hint of black butter, a Jersey traditionally made product going back 100's of years. La Mare Wine Estate in the north of the island was the place where this was historic was produced. It pours as a medium brown colour with a slight white foamed head. Aromas of black butter entice you in to tasting, where you find the black butter has caramel & slight liquorice flavours.. with a aftertaste of liquorice with mild bitterness.
