Almost clear amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a decent fine minerally crispness. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Whisper of caramel. The quartet of US hops bring a smooth pine and a decent blend of modesty bright citrus and mellow citrus peel. Trace of tropical fruits. Light finish. There was a very vague whiff of esters at one point but nothing that bothered me again. A pretty crushable beer and unusually good for Tring!
