Flaskenfra Waitrose, Finchley, delt med Steven: klar dypmgylden med fint skum. Typisk engelsk aroma og smak preget av bitter (engelsk) appelsinmarmelade og litt gress. Balansert og lettdrikkelig.

Bottle from the Gloucster Road Waitrose. Pours dark gold, transient white head. Fruit aroma. Light bodied. Flavor is a bit of malt and some fruit. Not bad, but I won’t be seeking it out.

Bottle from the Waitrose at Gloucster Road. Pours light, bright gold with a foamy/fizzy white head. Aroma of yeast, spice, herb. Med + body - likely due to the impressive carbonation. Flavor is bubble gum, anise, yeast/spice, but no identifiable fruit ester. Maybe the flavors aren’t particularly strong, but they are hard to ignore. Think there’s a phenolic aspect towards the finish. Nothing wrong here, it’s just that the flavor is a bit off the Belgian median. Works.

2013 vintage from the Waitrose on Gloucster Road. Pours rather perry color. Aroma is mildly tart apple skin. Med minus body. Flavor is tart/sweet. Actually something for the pool. Tends towards a bit sweet over time. Actually pleasant to drink, but so is soda.
