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.

Bottle at home in Hackney - thanks to Emma! Pours warm brown with a frothy, beige head. Serviceable porter, if restrained, with softly roasted malts, some brown bread, background cocoa, earth. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, nips of dry cocoa, more toasted brown bread. Fine.
