Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pale golden colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of spice, musky, apple. Taste is sweetish, formic, some apple flesh, spice, with a biscuit hint. Medium bodied, high carbonation, dry astringent finish. Not great.

18/6/2020. Bottle from 3at3, Ely. Opens with a fizz and pours lively, very pale gold with a large white head. Aroma doesn’t deliver the virtual Grenada spice market bouquet the label suggests, very mild spice notes, light toffee and sweet apple. Medium plus sweetness. Moderate body, slightly fizzy. A little perfume comes through to finish. Tried it warmed too gave but a little more zing but not much else. Not a fan.

5/10/2019. Bottle from 3 at 3, Ely, shared at the Wroclaw GP bottle share. Poured weak medium brown with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of light chocolate, roasted malt, toffee, dark fruit, coffee and berries. Moderate sweetness, bitterness and tartness.Moderate body, watery texture, average carbonation. Berry tart finish, and certainly without the big rich chocolate I'd expected. Something wasn't right here. Wasn't out of date. Shame as have enjoyed everything else I've had from them.
