Tasted by half-pint at the Market Porter, nr. Borough Market, South London. According to the website of the brewery, this beer "is the latest member of the Wickwar family. Introduced to the portfolio to help celebrate the opening of our new home at the Old Brewery."

A: amber hue, slightly hazy, with a thin white foamy head.
S: the malty entry upfront reveals a sweet note like caramel and raw, brown sugar, along with a fruity aroma mixed of ripe plums+cherries+apple-peel--nice balance b/w the fruity hops and lightly roasted maltiness.
T: sour-sweet berry-fruits prevail upfront, backed by a toasted malty backbone--quite complex the maltiness is; lightly raisin-ish and plummy fruitiness gradually develops in parallel with a mildly bitter-sweet, tea-leafy taste of roasted malts(?), leaving a pretty clean finish unlike a premium bitter.
M&D: refreshing and light on the mouthfeel, the body is actually quite full vis-a-vis the flavour. Very drinkable beer it is, though one'd yearn for extra of something to make it a true loveable beer.
