440ml can from the brewery tap room. Poured a hazy medium amber colour with a big, lasting, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, woody hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a crisp, light metallic, light citrus, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation.
