500ml bottle from Rock Villa, Beer, Devon. BBE 04/23. Poured a murky medium amber colour with no life. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, malt, light grassy, nettle, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with flat carbonation. I was really looking forward to this but it was massively disappointing. More like a home brew gone wrong.
