Bottle. It's been many years since I've had this and was pleased to find it. Nose is orange, floral, hint of sherbet, touch of resin.

Taste is big resin, pine, sweet malt, touch of bitter honey, faintly floral note, sweet resin, and a drier than you would think finish.

Really nice to have a pine bomb again.

Bottle. Nose is incredible. Brown sugar, raisins, fruity wine, almonds, christmas cake, stewed fruit, brown bread, malt, faintest hint of strawberrys. Taste is acidic, light malt, wine, lots of vinegar, a little red berry, very fruity finishing with leather and lots of tannin. It really doesn't work very well. Very thin

Can from Tescos. Nose is big mango, peach, lilt. Taste is is mango, pith grapefruit, touch of malt, lime pith, hint of lemon in a slightly peppery finish. Thinner than the strength would imply.

It's totally fine.
