Aromas are malty, chocolate and caramel with sweet and sour notes. Oddly some warm milk with dry hops. Flavours are malty with the same fruity sweet and sour character. Chocolate malts are followed by bitter hops. Has a good gentle sparkle. Not too impressive on the finish - just more fruitiness. Pretty decent. imdownthepub (5171), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
