Can at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Aroma has sour fruit with a malty streak. Medium-heavy bitter. Resinous with a berry streak..Spice. Underlying malts. Opaque gold. Frothy foamy white head. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Good stuff especially as I had low expectations.
