Bottle at home in London - picked up at Tesco. Pours crystal clear honey-gold with a creamy white head. The nose has lightly pale bread, cereal, citrus. Light sweet flavor with overripe citrus, mild grain husk, biscuits, orange rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish with some further biscuits, cereal, orange rind, faint metal and leafy hops. So so overall.

500ml bottle: BBD 31 Aug 15. Bought from my local Morrisons and poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 1 Nov 14. Old gold body with a full, lasting white pillow of foam on top. Hop lead in both the nose and taste, floral and fruity in nature. Medium depth of body and overall OK, crisp enough and refreshing, but not really exciting or different from many such bottled beers on the shelves of our supermarkets in the UK currently.
