50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Amber with a loose white head; slightly musty, honeyed aroma with some dusty hops; much better in the mouth though, soft and smooth with some zesty citrus fruit; and then a strong burst of mouth-filling hops that are assertive, but not too bitter; leading to a woody finish.
