Bottle conditioned, from Pink Pig Farm Shop, Holme. Deep gold with red flashes, thin but lasting white head and gentle condition. Delicate fruity berries, some toffee and a low peppery hop note in the nose, full fruity and sweet in the mouth with a dominant yeastiness and a slight bubblegum note, fruity and slightly bitter yeastiness lingering in the finish.

500ml bottle - a bit livelier than the other Axholmes I’ve had, deep cloudy brown body, thin frothy white head. Nose of rich citrus. malts and a little bit of booze in there. A strange sourness to the taste, spices, bitter oranges, sour candy. An odd mouthfeel, rather buttery in texture, the carbonation initially there soon goes. Very complex and hard to fathom out.
