Very light gold colour. Peachy, chutney-like aroma. Wet, with a faint malt note. Slighlty heavy body for the style. Sweetish, slightly fruity finish.

Big plastic bottle on train, thanks to Oakes for jumping off the train in the middle of the night to get this. Wow this was a great surprise! Pours clear gold with stable white head. Aroma combines doughy malt with very interesting floral hops. The palate is soft and silky. Is very Fugglsy, evocative of English beer, with earthy mushrooms, wet flowers, raw and toasted sunflower seeds. Even as it warms, or maybe because it warms, the flavors come out nice especially the lovely, intriguing hop character. Highly sessionable. Haven’t tasted anything quite like this...a beer highlight of the trans-Sib.
