Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
Ingredients: Pearl Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, Amber Malt, Wheat Malt; First Gold hops.
A sweet plummy fruitiness blankets an underlying malty bitterness. Full and rich in flavour, the aftertaste develops an increasing malt bias that does not fade.

<b>Bottle 50cl.</b><br />Clear medium amber orange color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, light to moderate hoppy, moderate yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. &#40;220808&#41;

&#40;Bottle 50 cl&#41; Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving laces. Has a light Brett aroma. Medium body, dry fruit accents and a little horse blanket before a bitter finish. 220808

Bottle, thx to fonefan. It pours a hazy orange-golden body with a big, dense, off-white head. Sourish, chalky nose with some cooked vegetables and some sweetish maltyness. Sourish, citrusy and chalky flavor, but there’s also a good sweet maltyness giving it some balance and depth. Medium body. Malty, sourish and dusty finish with some bitterness. Another far from impressing English bottle-conditioned beer. &#40;080822&#41;

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off white head. Orange fruity hops and perhaps also mild bacterial infection. Mild creamy brett flavour with a mild orange fruity and slight wooden note. Light citric to dry woody finish. Nice yet once again presumeably not as intended.

Bottle. Glowing orangey amber, cloudy, with a huge offwhite head. Complex aroma of hay and chocolate. Tastes rather bitter, but with noticeable milk chocolate. Some dark fruit as well. It is an unusual combination, but I actually quite like it.
