Tap, pretty good ordinary bitter, some caramel and toffee notes with a very mild fruitiness to the fermentation profile, balanced by hop bitterness. Semi-sweet. Amber color. Nothing to set the world on fire here but a beer you can drink in a pub while talking and eating, as I did and absolutely would again.

Karmelowe,palonosc, lekko przebąkują owoce tropikalne, czerwone. Barwa miedziana, przeźroczyste, piękna i trwała piana, piękny lacing. Goryczka niska, palona. Piwo dość płaskie, pełne, mało się dzieje. Ale da się wypić.
