Bottle. Cloudy yellow and quite flat. Fruity taste that dominates and lingers. The initial appearance put me off but eventually it turned out reaonable.Still not very good though.

Cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Gold. Clean enough with a firm mouthfeel but a slight sweetness. Decent but nothing to really distinguish this from the droves of similar beers at the festival. The higher alcohol level than most didn’t make much of an impact. Maybe the sweetness did make it feel just a little fuller on the palate.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Microbar, Manchester. Pale gold pour with a white head. Aromas of heather, vanilla, peach and a distinct whiff of pepper. I seemed to pick up a strong peppery flavour or that could’ve been down to the crisps I was munching whilst drinking this. Other than the peppery action there’s a splash of fruit in there too. Spicy finish....had to have been the crisps.
