Cask conditioned @ South Western Arms, Soton. Golden colour. Slight citrus and a hint of pear drop. Some fruity sweetness in mouth and a hint of alcohol. Quite good but the alcohol provides an odd contrast in a beer of this strength.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light amber pour covered by a 1cm white head. Sandy and lightly earthy hop bitterness has a certain cattiness about it, but also an herbal feel. Rather omplex hop profile really, both in aroma and taste. Also excellently conditioned and well supported by delicate toasted malts. Firm body with a healthy carbonation. Good.
