Looked good in the glass and I've had a number of quite good offerings from these guys so I'm guessing that perhaps this one might have been off in the keg perhaps or something.
It was slightly sweet at first taste but what lingered was a horrible aftertaste that then coloured every sip. After a few mouthfulls this taste dominated, it was almost cider like in quality which is why I believe it was perhaps off. Debated at the possibility of returning the pint but I wasn't sure if this was perhaps the expected taste and it just wasn't a nice beer.
I'd be happy to be proved wrong but I did not rate this one at all...

Served super warm at the pub i got it at. Sweetish start, with a slight tart character, refreshing, but not overly so. Served a bit cooler and i think my score would have been bumped up a bit, a bit bittersweet in the end and a tad bit sticky.
