Cask conditioned at The Spanish Galleon, Greenwich, London. Served at cellar temperature. Copper coloured, low head. Fruity aroma. Flavour is malty and nutty with a nice bitterness. Good beer!

The colour is amber; the 1½ finger high head is airy and off white.

The small is soft and malty with fruity notes.

The taste is soft and pleasant, refreshing with notes of rye bread, diacetyl, “Juicy Fruit” chewing gum, some bitter hops, flowers and mandarins. There is a touch of chemical flavours. The aftertaste is balanced and gentle with fruity aroma hops.

The mouth feel is creamy; the carbonation is low with large bubbles.

An ale that is very easy to gulp. However, as my expectations were very high on this one, it was a minor disappointment.
