355ml bottle from Wine Rack, Ascot. Hazy amber in colour with a compact cream head; intoxicating aroma rich with citrus oils and pine resin; smooth and soft, but leaving a prickly feeling in the mouth, the taste is quite medicinal at first, but develops a sweet grainy body with orange and grapefruit flavours, and a surprisingly light bitterness from the hops, which provide a touch of spice to the finish. A really pleasant ale.
