440ml can. Sweetish, slightly roasty and stingy fruity with some soapy grassy notes, pine, licorice, earthiness and rye. A bit stingy and unbalanced.

Can from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Very dark brown with a very thin head. Its fruity notes are light here, its darker malts, not quite roasted are pleasant enough.
