3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A hazy golden brown coloured beer with a thick off-white head. The nose is slightly sweet, vinous, but also floral and hoppy, with a touch of citrus fruit. The taste is smooth, almost port-like. Vinous, sweet and malty. Then there is a touch of citrusy hop, slightly appley, towards the end. The finish is sweet and slightly fizzy.
