Bottle at home picked up at Cobbs Farm shop outside Hungerford on a day trip to visit my parents. I chilled this one down and after a 1.45 hour hot drive home this was perfect. It was all about the bitter English hops. In fact they dominated in a perfect way and the beet scythed across my palate. Absolutely lovely.

Pre-lunch bottle while visiting parents. They had got some interesting ones in and that was really appreciated. Good pour and colour. And an amazing balance of sweet from the honey and bitterness from the hops. It really cut across the palate. Very good.
