Craft Islington. Bottleshare. Thanks to Fergus. Almost clear brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, thin creamy sweetness. Little tangy chocolate. It's all very light and watery. For me a good example of why this style nearly went extinct.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours clear burnt gold with a small, creamy head. The nose has some bready malts, mellow citrus notes. Light sweet flavour with lightly toasted bread, hints of earth, leaves. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with toasty bread, mild leafy bitterness, a little earth. So so.
