500ml bottle. Poured a hazy medium amber with a fizzy, short-lived white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet, with a light, very slightly watery, light fruity, light pepper spice, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Cask at Southampton Arms. Amber coloured, maybe a little bit red, with off white head of very small bubbles. Aroma is stinky socks and a bit of hoppy bitterness, bit non-descript. Bit of bready malts too. Taste is biscuit malt, bit of a bitter finish. Nothing special for me. --- Beer merged from original tick of Dr Hexters Healer on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

Shared 500ml bottle on 20th Aug 2016. Amber bodied, off-white crown. Malts lead the way in both the nose and taste, caramel like sweetness rules the aroma and flavours: my sweet tooth liking the light malty molasses overpowering the hop content.
