Bottle shared in London - thanks! Pours clear yellow with a creamy white head. Sugary cereal aroma, a little fart. Big sweet flavor, some corn, honey. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary finish, cloying, syrupy, some white bread, no hops. Meh.

Bottle thanks to Wingman. It pours amber with a decent white head. The nose is soft, grainy, sweet, toasty, candy, apple and soft fruits. The taste is crisp, sweet, grainy, oily, apple, pear, apple, toasty, white sugar and grain with a short finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty basic, but not horrific.
