Bottle, from Sainsburys Hessle. Gold, thin but lasting white head and good condition. Initially sweet and honeyed in the nose with caramel and vanilla notes developing and a suggestion of buttery toffee, quite full bodied in the mouth, the sweetness briefly shows itself with more toffee and honey before a solid hop bitterness takes over with some earthy floral notes, staying with you into the finish, dissipating with time to let the toffee notes have a final flourish.
