Golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are both fairly muted. There's a rounded floral bitterness in the finish but not much depth overall.

Bottle from Cheers Liquor Store, Todmorden. Amber-pink in colour with an initial heavy blast of cherry in taste, although as the palate becomes used to this it gets a tad subdued. Aroma is the same -sweetened cherry.
