High Wycombe House Warming. Thanks to Wingman. Hazy deep gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, dry and has decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, trace of dry cream. Light sweetish floral mid. Mild sherbetty candy fruits. Light finish, Interesting but probably not what was intended.

Bottle at Colin’s. it pours lightly hazy amber with a medium white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, piney, resin, varnish, sticky, toffee and grass. The taste is crisp, dry, earthy, wood, resin, chewy malt, spicy, floral and soap with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Not the greatest.... dirty.
