26/9/2020. Bottle shared with / courtesy of SHIG. Cheers! Pours clear bright gold with a small bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, fruit, veg, bit of muck. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Tasted good, much better than the aroma.

Bottle from Stori. Appearance - amber with a quickly disappearing head. Nose - caramel and cereal. Taste - nittiness again this time. Overall, a Hobnob biscuit feel to this. Palate - light to medium bodied. Tangy, creamy and a little sweet. Overall - a solid citizen. There are a lot of beers quite similar to this kicking about.
