Bottle ordered from Beer GB/Beer Ambleside. Now Great Corby Fox and 4.7%. Aroma had caramel malts and berries. Clear brown. Thick foamy off-white head. Light-medium bitter with a big sour berry edge. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. It's nice enough but not particularly exciting. May as well be a standard bitter.
