3rd October 2024 Can in Brighstone, IOW. Magnum, Simcoe, Mosaic a d Citra hops. Almost opaque deep amber brown beer, decent tan head. Smooth and airy palate, dry decent fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, a mellow chocolate, as much if not more soft malt and malt cream. The quartet of modern hops sit lightly on the back end, light pine, very light citrus and just the mildest pinch of hop spice. Overall it's clean and well balanced and pretty sessionable for the style.
