COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, Seasonal, Winter;
An antidote to Christmas. No strange spices, just a really good stronger beer with a crisp fruity hop flavour and plenty of malt. A refreshing beer to clear the palate.

Leighton (4100) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 30, 2010
Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours clear amber with medium, white head. Great earth and light pine hop aroma with some citrus and malts. Sweet, toasty malts in the flavor, with nice, earth and mild citrus bitterness. Medium in body with average carbonation. The balance of this beer is a highlight. Finishes great with a clean bitterness, further mild sweetness and some lingering earthen hops. Excellent beer.
