5% ABV Limited Edition 330ml bottle (#0470 of 3000); BBE Apr 2019. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip glass at home on 17th Nov 2018. The second beer of a mini-tasting I had with myself and no one else. Dark amber body, off-white head that hung around. Light citrus lead in both the hoppy nose and hoppy taste, malts in the background here. Fairly bitter with some piney hop earthiness arriving after the initial citrus hit.

Bottle at home, from Aune Valley farm shop, 03/05/18. Rich copper pour with a lasting faded beige head - a perfect looking bitter. Nose is brown bread, dried fruits, brown sugars, marzipan. Taste comprises fruit slice, toffee, toasted brown sugars, biscuit malt, very light spice, nutty, caramelised fruit peel. Medium bodied, soft massaging carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow bitter edge. A really solid flavoursome bitter ... one of the best bottled exponents of the style I've had !
