biscuity malt.
Juicy malt and tart hops vie for attention in the mouth while the finish is tart and hoppy but well balanced by creamy malt. The bitterness rating is a substantial 36-38. The tangy fruit lingers on the back of the tongue until it develops a hint of orange liqueur.
Malt - Maris Otter pale malt and crystal malt
Hops - Challenger

Cask at The Mortal Man. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Great lacing. Aroma of wood and cereal. Flavour of dried leaves and weak tea. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation prickle. Simple and well balanced. Very enjoyable, especially when it’s 30 degrees Celsius outside and you’re sitting in one of the country’s best beer gardens.
