Bottle delivered by the Blue Boar, Leicester, and drunk at home. Golden and hazy with a small creamy white head. Light aroma: some raisin, apricot, bready malt. Taste has a chalky bitter edge to it after the very initial malty sweetness.Bitter hops cling to the back of the tongue through to the long finish. A touch of apricot in the aftertaste. Carbonation is fairly heavy. it isn't bad but I was hoping for a bit more.
