Aug 22, 2009 Bottle, from Sainsburys Lincoln. Amber gold, thin but lasting white head and moderate condition. Sweet burnt toffee, typical GK hop resin and bready malt in the nose, full and balanced in the mouth with a gentle hop flower note in harmony with a discrete sweet toffee maltiness, some background caramel notes and a vague woodiness adding complexity, sweet toffee and caramel initially in the finish, with a developing but restrained hop bitterness and retronasal spirity alcohol.
