Bottle from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - cloudy amber with no head to speak of. Nose - orange barley water. Taste - honey and orange. Orange barley sweets. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture. Tangy but cloying finish. Overall - didn't live up to billing. Probably better on keg or cask.
