3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Leighton (14836) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 9, 2015
Bottle at home in London - picked up from an Oddbins (London Bridge, perhaps?). Pours mostly clear amber-gold with a large, frothy off-white head that settles into a cream. The aroma holds toasted grains, caramel and lightly tangy citrus fruits. Light-medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted, bready malts, some caramel, a bit of orange, soft pine, berries. Low bitterness. Light bodied with average to lively, massaging carbonation. Pretty smooth on the finish, with more prominent bready malt character, light piney spice, citrus, peach, orange, creamy caramel. The more I drink of this beer the more I like it. Fun stuff.
