This light chestnut-brown session beer has a fresh, grainy, biscuity nose with a hint of fresh citrus fruit in the background. The palate tingles with a stunning counterplay between grainy, biscuity maltiness and a sprightly citrusy fruity centre and a suggestion of mint. The refreshing finish is a Challenger hop-driven bittersweetness with a lingering dryness, while traces of biscuity maltiness, a whisper of chocolate (from a pinch of chocolate malt in the mash) and fruit also make an appearance. The sort of finish that says ‘have another sip’.

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London 22 Apr 2006) Colour is mid brown to dark copper. Malty nose with hints of brown sugar and toffee. Taste is malty, nutty (hazel nuts) with a mild bitterness in the finish. Not really complex, buat a nice session bitter.
