@Harp. Light golden-bronze with some haze. The aroma is a bit appley, maybe even a bit of butter. The palate is appely, but with some nice Maris Otter nuttiness. Decent pint - if a bit thin and underdeveloped.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence Wine Merchants, Brockley. Dark amber pour with a beige head. Disappointing nose. A little caramel and toffee in there but no much else. Caramel, nuts and butterscotch flavours. Sharp hoppy finish. Pleasant enough.
