3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Keg @ Crown and Anchor. Murky, hazy brown in colour with good carbonation. Not much aroma, malt, not that much hops and a bit of funk. Malt and fruit with some vegetable funkiness and then the bitterness. Its ok actually, certainly better than the above description would suggest.

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Oddbins. Colour is clear toasty looking amber with a medium white bubbly foam head. Nose is zesty citrous hops, grapefruit, touch of orange blossom, mango tropical fruit and some biscuity and bready malt. There’s also a bit of rhubarb bitter in there too. Taste is quite grain husky like a golden ale but with a kick of citrous hops, with gooseberry and grapefruit bitter on the tongue. Bit of the Nelson earthiness on the finish too.

Nice fruity hop aroma - peachy, mandarin, a bit zesty even. Duller palate. Soft simple, but not so exciting. A bit of a let-down after the aroma.
