1/6/2018. Can from NORD Bottle Shop & Tap Room, Whitley Bay. Pours golden with a foamy white head. Aroma of pear, citrus, candy and sweet malt. Quite heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, some creaminess to texture, average carbonation. Distinctly pear drop like. Some bitterness developing. Bit of a curious brew, enjoyable though.
