Bottle from Alder Carr Farm Shop, near Needham Market. Some initial citrus in the aroma which is then drowned out by the malts. Copper gold. Middling frothy translucent white head. Medium bitter. A sour edge and sweetness into the finish. Marmalade. But tastes more boozey than it is and metallic. Medium bodied. Slick, if thin. Fizzy carbonation with some softness. Long slightly astringent finish. Leaves an aftertaste. Marmalade and metallic result in a cough medicine-esque boozey beer. Currently down as an ESB but mode of an English Strng Ale for me. Not sure that I actually like it that much but would probably go down well on a stormy seaside night.
