Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with small white top. Aroma of pale malt, citrus, hint of berry and old cardigans. Taste of butter, lime zest, bread crust, quite bitter. Very drying in the finish and the lightish body only gives some respite to this. Not great.

Thanks to Simon. Fantastic grainy bitter beginning. Smooth bitter dry grain. Sessionable dry, malty dusty, nice Ale characteristics. Bitter dry aftertaste.
