Bottle from Local in Carlisle. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - light apple and citrus. Taste - light biscuit and more citrus. But a bit of honey at the end. This makes it less refreshing. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - solid but not worth a second.
