330ml bottle, drank at home on 23rd Oct 2020. The last and best beer of a mini tasting I had with myself. Amber, dark orange body, neat white head. My sweet tooth liked the caramel/malty base of this brew, some light fruitiness creeps in mid-sip and there is a bit of bittering hop action, but it's all about the malts in this very drinkable beer.

330ml bottle at home on 18th Oct 2020. Dark for a Munich Helles, this is amber, white topping. Really enjoyed this, malty and pretty sweet throughout. If you are into malty molasses and the aroma/taste they can bring to a beer, then this will delight you.

Bottle at Whatley Manor, near Malmesbury, for my Mum & Dad's golden wedding anniversary. Lovely place this. Shame they succumb to the usual hotel disgrace of massively overcharging for beer. Still, at least they've gone to the trouble of sourcing local brews. This one pours a glowing pale amber with a good white head. It's pretty minerally up front, with a touch of cardboard. It improves as as orange and caramel come through but it's still not great. It's a real shame that the beer wasn't up to the standard of the gorgeous surroundings or the food, but it did at least let me raise a toast - happy anniversary Mum & Dad, & may you enjoy many more together!
