Cask at Gordon Highlander. It pours clear oily golden with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, quite savoury , spicy, coriander seeds, slight nuttiness, perfumed, orange peel and kumquat. The taste is firmly dry, bitter snap, fragrant, floral, pithy, zesty, orange peel, slightly soapy, light tannin, festive spice, toasty grain, sponge cake and panettone with a drying finish. Average body and fine/soft carbonation. Not quite sure the spice level works with a pale ale, but it drinks fine in a half.
