Served at cellar temperature from 500ml bottle into pint mug. I've had this one a few times and its a winner, but didn't realise I've not done a BA review, so here we are.
L) Red-copper colour, clear, no bubbles visible, thin whispy film.
S) Sweetish brown sugar tones, with a bit of English hops.
T) Deep caramel flavour with a bit of a spritzy hop balance. Slight bitterness.
F) The maltiness has a certain weight in the mouth. Little carbonation or bitterness.
O) I actually didn't think this one was as good as I remember it, but still decent.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Dec 2010, so it's a little out of date. Picked up cheap from my favourite beer specialist.
Poured into a Sam Smith's pint glass. A dark reddish-amber with medium carbonation and slight haze. Produces a foamy light brown head that lasts for several minutes. A floral hoppy aroma underpinned by sweet malt - notes of grain and citrus. Fantastic!
Tastes of sweet caramel malt with stacks of aromatic hops. Plentiful citrus and floral notes, with mild bitterness giving a crisp finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and leaves the palate slightly dry. A nice aftertaste of sweet malt and hoppy flavour.
Lovely - I could happily sink a few of these. Nicely balanced between sweet and aromatic bitterness. Well worth sampling if you come across it.
