Bottle ordered from the brewery. Pleasant fruity aroma with a hoppy edge. Not an attractive beer: hazy beige/peach. The thin white head recedes to a few mm across. Light-medium bitter. Sweet sugary stone fruit sountess. Off soapy taste in finish. Light-medium bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish with a aftertaste. I'd heard that they were having issues with their bottling and this seems oxidised. Could argue it's unfair to rate it but at the end of the d it's what the brewery are selling direct.
