Can swap with customer who picked it up at the brewery.
Appearance - golden and clear with gentle carbonation and an off-white head.
Nose - dank, vegetable oil, green beans and biscuit.
Taste - more vegetables and bread. Some caramel.
Palate - light bodied, some malt bitterness but could do with more hop bitterness.
Overall - ok.
