Bottle from my local grocery store ‘Loco’. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized thick creamy white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, bread, biscuits, citrus and floral. Taste has more of the same notes from the aroma with an added touch of peppery spice. Sweetish earthy hop finish. Medium body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite nice. edit: Liking this less the more i drink.

Pours a clear, pale amber with a frothy white head, and a moderately sweet malt aroma with a hint of citrus fruit. A highly carbonated mouthfeel carries a citrus hop flavour on top of a malty backbone, with some toffee sweetness apparent, and some dry bitterness in the finish. Satisfying enough without being overly challenging, and not really an IPA.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Had at some central London pub, probably a Nicholson's.
