Bottle. Slight haze on an orange, golden ale. Decent head of white. Nose is exotic and fruity with peach, pear, a hint of caramel, lemon/lime. In the mouth, there’s more fruits - a nice tangy satsuma. There’s more caramellic biscuit malts and a little bit of floral perfume. The finish is nice and long with plenty of bitter notes.

4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask@The Imperial, Walsall. Clear gold colour, large creamy head with good lacing. Aroma of citrus, slightly unpleasent. Taste is citrus and a little hoppy too. The palate is excellent one of the best I have had, very smooth and creamy. An excellent beer let down slightly by the aroma. If it wasn’t for this it would have been my top rated beer.
