18/11/2020. Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours almost clear pale amber with a frothy off-white head. Aroma started quite sulphury, but that eased leaving quite nice toffee, sweet malt, bready, biscuit and fruity notes. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Quiet enjoyable.

I bought this while on holiday in Northumbria. After getting excited about craft brewing, unfortunately this took me back 10 years to the wishy-washy ales that forced me over to lager. The aroma, appearance and palate are all verging on bland. The one thing in this beer’s favour is that none of these mediocre qualities overpowered the others, so at least there was balance in the palate.
