On draught, 3/25/05 at the Tap with Martin, Stephen, David and Barry. Sampled from David’s glass. Pours a thick looking pencil yellow with some lighter golden tinges and a small, fluffy white head, not very long retained. Aroma of honey, slight corn, a bit of flowery hops and lightly fruity yeast. Flavor has a good malt backbone with creamy sweetness, moderate carbonation to add a good texture and only a small amount of hops bitterness. Solid yeastiness, adds a unique flavor of slight musty/dustiness and a bit of sourness. Body is medium to medium-full and there is no thinning on the end. Flavor is, perhaps, a little simple, but it’s well-made, with low alcohol apparency.
