500ml Bottle conditioned: BBD of Mar 2014. Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' badged vase shaped pint glass at home on 27 Jun 2013.
I don't think any sediment left the bottle, but I still got a hazy, dull golden body: on top a foam blanket of off-white bubbles.
The aromas were slight at first, but as the beer warmed in the glass I got some semi-sweet maltiness and a mini-floral hop smell.
The taste and mouthfeel were of fresh hops and unused yeast, along with some malt molasses. The beer moved towards a bitter dry finish and was refreshing from the start, if a little green overall.
I could be unkind but I'd rather say it was opened a month or two too early for the second fermentaion in the bottle to have done it's job fully.
