Bottle at Leighton’s place. Many thanks to Colin Bois. Aroma is nice fruity hops, rubber, light roast, background. Nutty brown coloured pour with a lasting cream coloured head, sticky. Flavour is composed of nutty, grainy, lemon, fruity hop, rubber, with a a little sticky, hop. Palate is medium full, highish carbonation, tangy finish. Decent enough.
