500ml bottle with advice to leave the last 1-2cm in the bottle. What nonsense, the flavour improved once I topped up my glass with the rest! Its cloudy copper colour, thin off-white head, circular retention. Aroma of toasted grains, light treacle, light stone fruits. Light body with a disappointingly low carbonation. Taste is again toasted malts, yeast, light bitter orange, some sharp citrus at the end with a touch of resin. More flavour than your average best bitter but lacks a little in the bottle conditioning in terms of head and carbonation zing, its a difficult balancing act I guess. Would be interesting to try on cask if I'm ever that way.
