Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19/11/20. Clear golden orange with a well presented just off white cap that retains well. Nose is fruit esters, toffee, bread, light sugars, prunes, sweet malts. Taste comprises fruit loaf, caramel, residual sugars, dates, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boosty nip. Not bad ... like a mellow less complex Fullers Vintage.

Bottle from 33 Green Bottles, Gosport. Rich malty aroma with a sour berry streak. Chestnut. Frothy white head. Initial light-medium bitterness has a sour berry streak as per the aroma. The malts and a fruity sweetness then come through. A touch of caramel. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Ling dry slightly astringent finish. More interesting than I was expecting.
