Bottled. Yellowish golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy head, that leaves lace. Quite lively. Aroma is sweet malts, some fruity and floral notes along with some mild toasted notes. Flavour is being very similar in a good balance. Tasty and fruity aftertaste.

Bottle at Bruce’s. It pours golden orange with a small white head. The nose is orange, peach, apricot, light alcohol, earth, hay and spice. The taste is hay, straw, soap, light spice, chlorine, medicinal, floral, alcohol and weird astringency. Light to medium body and fine carbonation. Doesn’t taste right...soapy and astringent!

Bottle at Bruce’s - London. I got this from...somewhere in London! Pours mostly clear gold with a slight, creamy white head. The aroma has peach, plastic, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor, some astringent plastic, peach. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary pale malts to finish, more astringent plastic, hay. The plastic notes are not awesome.
