Lovely pale gold with a creamy white head, and a sweet, malty aroma with some floral notes. Served in great condition, the mouthfeel is smooth and the taste is initially biscuit malt, progressing to a nice bitter hop finish.

2017 notes. Clear golden, medium to large off-white creamy head. Lightly malty, grainy, biscuity. Lightly hoppy, leaves, earthy, herbs and light citrus. Light diacetyl. Malty flavour, toasty, quite rich, some toffee. Moderately hoppy flavour, herbs and spices. Good balance, moderately to highly intense dry finish. Medium body (too much?), moderate carbonation, drinkable, brave!
