Clear golden color with a fine white head. Ok lacing down the sides of the glass. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average to soft carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, malty, mild pine and fruity flavor. A bit mild and quite easy to drink. Very session able.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, few white bubbles. Palate is light and moderately crisp. Sweetish pale malts, trace of honey. Mild floralness. A little bit of citric peel and it’s associated bitterness on the light finish. Not bad.
