Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear golden - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, warming spice, gingersnaps, dill clove, boiled sweets, sponge cake, brioche, hay and nutty cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, prickly, bitter - sweet character, candied citrus peel, pear drops, ripe melon, gooseberry, banana split, toffee and warming booze to balance out the sweetness. Dry and warming through the finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Comes together well. A good example of the style.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear blonde with a thick & sturdy white head. The aroma is sweet, biscuity malts, custard creams, touch of paper, icing sugar, pencil shavings, caramel drizzle, creme brulé, straw and spicy hops. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, firm, chalky green banana, melon, slap of boozey warmth, some rawness, toasty grains, spice, clove, coriander seeds, custard cream biscuits and pencil shavings with a drying, spicy finish. Medium body and moderate+ foamy carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth. Pretty boozey for style. Drinkable, but fairly forgettable stuff.
