On opening the bottle there was indeed an intense citrus hoppy smell and a mouthwatering sweetness from the malts at the back of the aroma. On pouring this deep golden ale has a fruitiness to its smell reminiscent of gooseberries. This fruitiness springs to the fore in the tasting. First sip and I was hooked. The strong gooseberry fruitiness dominates the flavour all the way through each mouthful. Not in a bad way, of course, but certainly in a noticeable battle for supremacy over the underlying citrus undertones, and the sweet malts. This is a very original tasting beer and took me a little aback, with its underlying honeyed spiciness and domineering gooseberry fruity flavour. My hat is definitely off to Wychwood Brewery for this one. Enjoy if you have one or two, and please be careful when you're out and about during Bonfire season!
