Bottle sample courtesy of BeardedAvenger, cheers Mark! Clear slightly coppery amber gold colour, no head and aroma of honey, with floral notes. Taste is sweet, honey, caramel, some flowery hints, with light tartness, and syrup, sugar notes. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, lingering sweet honey finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle from Denbies Farm Shop, Dorking. Aroma of rich honey with vinous streak and a touch of veg. Amber. No head. Very sweet immediate impact. Vinous tinged sourness then comes through. As does a boozy warmth and a vague bitterness into the finish. But the sweetness is consistent. Light-medium bodied. Oily. Sticky. Average carbonation. Long warm slightly astringent finish. I was thinking of hitting the sack but this had really perked me up.
