500ml Bottle conditioned. There seemed to be a hint of honey on the nose although I didn’t detect this in the taste. Whilst this was 2 months past it’s best before date, and contained a lot of sediment, it poured very clear being a pale golden colour with quite a lot of carbonation and a small short lived head. Very bitter with a rather pleasant citrus flavour. Not bad.
