50cl bottle from M&S, Camberley. A reddish copper pour with a fast fading cream head; rich malty aroma; smooth caramel malt taste with a sharp twiggy bitterness; and a lingering burnt sugar finish that leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.

50cl bottle from M&S, Camberley. A pale amber pour with no head but some light carbonation; musty honey aroma; sweet grainy body; and a sweet oaty finish with a touch of citrus. Disappointing.

Keg at Cloistered. It pours lightly hazy amber with an orange hue and thick white head. The nose is fresh, bitter - sweet, orange muffin, tangerine, passion fruit, mango and some skunky hop action. The taste is bitter orange, kumquat, slight sweetness, marmalade, pink grapefruit, earth, orange muffin and peppery spice with a dry, citrusy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Aroma is pretty juicy. Decent gear.
