Bottled. Amber colour with a mediumsized off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is fruity, floral, some sweet and bready malts and a bit herbs. Flavour is sweet malts, some biscuity notes, mild caramel and floral notes ending in a nice herbal and grassy bitterness.

On tap at Redoak Boutique Beer Cafe, pours a hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out astringent metallic hops and toasted malt. Flavour is fairly astringent, with lots of floral metallic hoppiness and soapy finish. Like an amped up version of the Pommy Bitter, with all the same issues. Decent.
