Bottle. Red/copper. Looks like a Spezi, i.e. a mix of Fanta and Coke. Nearly no head. Aroma of coffee and dark chocolate. Taste is oranges, lemons, malts, coffeeand chocolate. Aftertaste is long and bitter, full of hops and oranges. Low carbonation. Thin and watery. I expected this to be sweeter, fuller and creamier. Disappointing but still kind of ok.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear very pale gold with a small white head. The aroma is fairly tame.... bread and butter, toasted grain, sweet stone fruits. The taste is crisp, clean, straw, dull spice, white bread, lemon & ginger tea, stone fruits and peppery with a dry-bitter finish. Light + body and soft carbonation. An easy drinking light golden ale.
