Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden orange with an attractive white head. Nose - lemon peel, lemon curd, floral and caramel. Taste - creamy lemon, banana and caramel. Nutmeg at the back. Palate - light bodied, creamy texture. Dry finish with decent linger. Overall - quite liked this! Maybe because it's the first of the day, but enjoyable all the same.
