Clear nutty color with a thick off white head. Looks good. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium light body and an average carbonation level. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Some wort, bready, herbal and fruity flavor. Decent ale at only 2.7%.

500ml bottle from East of England Co-Op Foodstore, shared on the train from Norwich to Ipswich and Chelmsford. Clear golden-brown in body colour. Fair pearl white head. Vague taste profile of sweaty hops and mid-sweet malts. Taste of bread, caramel and some impact of leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Easy to drink. Not bad considering the low abv. (18.02.2017).

Pale brown with thin lacy head. Light caramel malt in the aroma. Flavour is malty with a dry, hoppy finish. Lacks a bit of body but it’s a good ’Low Alcohol’ beer.
