Bottle from somewhere and had as part of my homemade advent calendar. Good pour and a real malt assault on the nose. You can really taste the house yeast and there was an weird aniseed flavour. Yeast, some bitter hops and a shed load of malt. Ok, but wouldn't buy again.

On tap at The Cricketers, Southwick. Tropical fruit & citrus aromas. Lots of stone fruits & citrus in the taste. Fruity & lightly hoppy. Would work better on a balmy hot summers day (we don't have many of them over here 😁).

Fra fat på The Anchor Bankside: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer lenge. En slank og lettdrikkelig bitter med litt fruktighet og fin bitterhet uten at den fortjener betegnelsen minneverdig, med unntak av omgivelsene jeg drakk den.
