330ml bottle: BBE Sep 2019. Bought in a dodgy Off-Licence in Brixton and drank at home on 10th Aug 2019. Golden amber body, clean and clear, off-white lasting head. Caramel lead to the nose and taste with some citrus fruit esters also. Flavours are semi-sweet from the caramalt and semi-citrus bitter from the Galaxy and Simcoe hops, light piney resinous hints too. Liked it.
