Cloudy apricots color, small white head. Faint apricots and sweet scent. Sweet, apricots, some butter taste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness.
I had this back in 2004 or so as well, but way before I started rating, I think I enjoyed it more at that time.

Bottle (1 litre swing-top) from the Cracked Kettle. Hazy golden, medium off-white head. Weird burnt rubber aroma with sour spices, and some medicinal notes. Dry, medium bitterness. Quite awful.
