Bottle from Bottle Cave Sydenham. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a big dose of malts. Resinous edge. Amber-orange. Opaque. Thin bubbly white head. Light-medium bitter. Citrus edge. Spice. Marmalade. However it then develops a big malty streak and a nip of boiled veg. Thr finish gets rather bitter and grainy. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Dry astringent finish. It's fine. Starts off promisingly if not particularly pale ale-esque but then develops into some sort of sub par golden ale.
