500ml Bottle: BBD of Sep 2013, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home during July 2013. Misty old gold body with a weak and thin white covering. Fruity and floral aroma with some grain notes as the beer warmed a little, a trace of sweetness arrived late on too. The taste was also fruity, but with a pleasant bitter finish. There was a yeast feel to the flavours throughout, along with a mild malt presence that all blended together to make an interestingly flavoured brew. Nicely carbonated and an all round fine beer.

Bottle at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting - London. One from L-Dawg. Pours clear gold with a fine, white cream cap. Rich, dry and lightly toasted malt aroma, with hints of toasted hay. Medium to big sweet flavor with some toasty bread, straw, faint honey and mild, ripe apple. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with sugary bread, lightly dry bitter hay and mellow caramel. Not bad but very basic. Still, a decent ESA.

Bottle at a ChrisO Tasting - London. Pours clear, rich gold with a frothy, white foam head. Big doughy malt nose with faint caramel notes. Light to medium sweet flavor with some spicy pine, toasty dough, mellow caramel. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty sweet to finish, lightly sticky, more spicy pine, maybe some black pepper. Kind of interesting, actually.
