Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Tahsin. Pours perfectly clear copper with a creamy, white head. Lovely stuff, nice fresh malty character, bready, subtle earthy hops, a nip of brown sugar, toast. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, more lightly toasted malts, brown bread, soft earthy bitterness. Just so drinkable.
