Deep golden colour, slightly hazy but still transparent. Average sized, quite frothy white head, shows good enough retention and nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: a deeper than usual malty base, with a slightly fragrant feeling hay/straw base, cerealy hints, perhaps a bit of worty reminiscence. But also distinct hoppiness, with dry floral notes and just a hint of fresh grassiness. Ok but not excellent in definition. Gets a bit better in taste, with now quite good intensity and definition. Taste notes as per aroma, with a hint of honey adding to malty depth. Relatively (per style) high sweetness and bitterness, with good overall balance in taste and a pleasantly dry finish/aftertaste. Light to medium body with slightly below average, soft/delicate carbonation, resulting in a pleasantly soft but still pretty smooth mouthfeel. Overall: a malty leaning interpretation of the style, with malty depth shining over hoppy notes, but with a dry balancing bitterness that doesn't quit. And well executed at that. Relatively bold but well balanced. Good stuff!
