Surprisingly awesome! Lovely ale with a hint of fruit and toffee.

Initially reaction wasn’t positive – it tasted a bit unusual and I couldn’t put my finger on it, I think its the fruitiness which im not normally a fan of however it is actually quite subtle and this beer quickly grew on me as i became accustomed to it – I would say it def needs to be served well chilled but i will be ordering again in small numbers for when I fancy something a bit different – try it see what you think?
