330ml bottle from the brewery. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a short-lived frothy white head. The aroma is biscuit malt, resin, woody hops. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter, with a smooth, rich, toffee resin, light floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
