375ml Bottle sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Misty golden orange appearance, nice frothy white head. Oodles of rhubarb in the aroma, soft ginger. Impressive rhubarb presence overall, complemented nicely by fresh zingy ginger, perhaps a little lemongrass creeping in. Great clarity of flavour with a nice sharp edge. Very good.
