Bottle thanks to LKS. It pours lightly hazy amber with a small white head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, fragrant, floral, honeysuckle, candied citrus, Irn Bru, candy and log spice. The taste is crisp, dry, toasty grain, orange marmalade, Irn Bru, kumquat, peach, floral, light spice, toasty grain and pepper with a drying finish. Medium body and average carabonation. Not so bad.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers’ Market. Pours mostly clear honey-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Interesting aroma, some zesty orange peel, faint autumnal spices, perhaps a suggestion of brett, ripening citrus. Medium sweet flavour with bready malts, more out-of-place spicing, citrus, low bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, a little oily pine bitterness, more ripening citrus, orange, vague cinnamon, simple bready pale malts. A bit scattered but still, in its way, enjoyable.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers Market. Pours clear gold, highly effervescent, with a billowing, frothy white head that eventually settles into a creamy topping. Simple pale bread in the aroma, a little meringue, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with doughy malts, white sugar, vague citrus notes, some phenolic off-notes. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Some off ashy notes in the finish, more doughy malts, faint grain husk, sugary dough. Overall, this is very simplistic and also a bit rough at the edges.
