750mL bottle, pours pale golden orange. Aroma of wheat, caramel and apples. Flavour is sort of an amplified apple juice, with wheat and candied sugar as well. Quite decent.

[330ml bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow] Amber with a small and diminishing white head. Slight fizz. Sweet pine dominates with a restrained citrus hop bitterness. Good resinous mouthfeel with some dryness in the finish. Excellent all round in fact, a top notch IPA. Nice one!
