500ml bottle from Cross Lanes Farm Shop. Hazy golden colour, bubbly white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of malt, grain, fruity hop. Taste is malt caramel, some grain, tangy, sourish, with fruity blackcurrant and earthy orange hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry fruity citric bitter finish. Quite OK English IPA.
