Christmas present. Bottle. As soon as I opened the bottle I was enveloped in sweet floral and nutty malts. Opaque chestnut. Creamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter with a tangy dark berry edge. Less malty than the aroma suggested. Light bodied. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. After the promising aroma and appearance the taste and palate are just bland.

500ml Bottle - Dark amber/copper with a haze and a small head. Grapefruit, pine, blackcurrant and raisins in the aroma. Fruity and hoppy taste with grapefruit, blackcurrant, raisins and hints of chocolate and caramel. A nice modern interpretation of a bitter.
