Straw coloured, light and refreshing, with a distinguishable balance of malt and hops and a satisfying moreish after bite. Its character displays the familiar qualities of traditional brewing at its best.

Half-pint, gravicask at Cowes Ale House. Shared with Finn. Fair lacing from a filmy layer. Moderate smell of leafy hops and grain. Mid-dry ripe fruity flavours, leafy hops, and a mild malty sweetness base. Short, drying bitter ending. Quite okay British bitter. (Cowes 20.10.2022).

Pours a clear golden colour with a small bubbly white head that settled. The aroma is grainy malt and grassy hops. A similar taste, grainy malt, grassy hop bitterness and a drying finish.
