Handpull cask at London Beer Dispensary, Brockley. Light ruddy brown with a spotty beige head. Malty aroma, a little raisin, some woody character. Taste is very sweet at first, almost too sweet, then finishing nicely bitter. Light overripe citrus mixed in with the strong malty notes. Intensely good.

Beers of Christmas box from my S-I-L. Aroma has juicy citrus and underlying grains. Hazy-opaque orange. Foamy white head soon disappears almost entirely. Medium bitter. Resin. Soon followed by a wave of sweet sugary clementine. Underlying earthy graininess. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Ermm... not overly keen on this. The bitterness snd sweetness don't balance.
