Pale amber / deep gold with a frothy white head, and a slightly burnt caramel and floral aroma. The taste kicks off with a bitter kick, citrus notes up front with more floral characteristics in the background, with some sweet fruit malt also evident. The finish is long with a pretty high level of astringency

[50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring.] A pale golden amber pour with a scummy looking white head; grassy aroma; grainy body with some citrus and hedgerow fruit; then a sharp fruity finish reminding me of damsons. Nice.
