Bottle. 2005. Golden colour with a rather small white head. Aroma of some roasted malts, fruity hops and some sweetness. The flavour is caramellic sweet with a nice bitter hoppiness and some roasty maltiness. Bitter bit spicy well lasting finish.

2006 vintage. Clear, deep gold. Short head. Good aroma, fruity hops and rich malts. A bit thin mouthfeel detracts from an otherwise good grade. Very typical Shepherd Neame, doesn’t disappoint.
