Bree Louise. Cask. Almost clear amber - brown beer. Suddy pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and semi dry. Touch of sweet toffee in the dry malt, little smooth cereal too. Unusual whisper of blueberry led fruits of the forest. Light bubblegum ester. Dry and mildly bitter finish that also brings very light smoke. Strangely drinkable.
