Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the Co-Op near Cambridge Heath. Pours clear yellow-gold with a small, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour with notes of doughy biscuits, faint bitter straw, white bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Simple finish, mildly sweet, more doughy pale malts, low bitterness. Drinks fine.
