Post coronation beer ?? Citrus fruity aroma and taste, with some notes of lemon, orange, soft cask mouthfeel and light bodied, bitter hoppy finish. Nice.

Bottle from the brewery shop. Hoisin sauce and Worcestershire sauce on the nose. Viscous and thick. The sourness is like an Ouid Bruin sourness, but the ending was absolutely horrific. Gross - had to throw away....

Bottle at the Copenhagen Beer Celebration Tune-Up, London. Thanks to Duff, from RateBeer, for cracking open this rarity with us underlings. Pours clear, honey-amber with a fine cream head. Big fruity, toasty-bready nose. Medium sweet flavor with nice berry fruits, nice toffee sugars. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dried fruits on the finish with light leather, toffee and caramel. Very nice ESB.
