Hazy deep gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is dry and mildly crispy. Creamy dry pale malts. Little dry floralness. A bare whisper of tired citrus. Mild bitterness in a dry grainy finish. Pretty lame effort! Dry and insipid and not very palatable.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hay, and elderflowers, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle from the Edgeware Road Waitrose at 4.2%. Pours light copper with a transient white head. Aroma is seriously floral. With some underlying fruit. Med minus body. Flavor is light caramel, quite light, with quite a lot of bitter. Hard to pin down hop type. It finishes bitter.

500ml bottle from Waitrose - a bit thin, with a respectable taste. Golden body, thin white head... a bit of fruit in there, maybe some ice cream notes of vanilla and such like, Nothing special mind you, but very drinkable.
