Hand-pulled pint at the Batemans visitor centre on 31st Oct 2015. Light amber body, clear and clean looking, the head a full and lasting off-White blanket of tight foam. Decent enough blend without testing your scenes too greatly. Mild biscuit maltiness with an undercurrent of fruity hops, slight yeast presence within the taste also.
