Bottle thanks to Danny. It pours hazy golden - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is soft, mellow. fresh, strawberry & cream, berry and scones. The taste is crisp, dry, quite mellow, strawberry, raspberry, straw, bitter, minerals, pithy, light spice and zesty citrus with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Ok.

Frothy off white head stayed on a hazy mahogany coloured still body. Big fruity aroma of red berries & jam. Medium bodied, prickly on the tongue with clean dry finish. Very fruity & medicinal tastes of red berries, jam, pine, spice & I'm picking the juniper up.

Appearance- murky brown, amber tinges, a big off-white head which persists. Aroma- caramel and biscuity malt dominate, soft fruity hops, hint of mash tun. Taste- caramel malt, peppery hints, fruit- a bit of apple in there, alongside some dark fruit, toffee. Mouthfeel is quite full for the abv, and juicy. Fruity finish, some lingering bitterness. Good.
