Light-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Solid malty and moderately smoked taste with a light touch of caramel; malty and subtle fruity finish with a light bitterness and a soft smoky touch in the aftertaste (12.09.07).

Draught at the brewpub. Clear brownish amber, small head. Lightly soapy, perfumy roasty malt aroma. Pleasant fresh grassy hops provides spice to a vital, rounded mid-sized body. Some vague smoke adds complexity. Long salty bitterness. Modest, but very good.
