Bottle conditioned, 500ml; BB Mar 2021. Bottle number 1134 of 3000 of a 'Limited Edition' for the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. Clear golden body, smooth white foam on top. Light citrus nose and flavour, decent malty balance; an easy drinking, uncomplicated beer. Not going to set your senses on fire, but it isn't going to upset anyone either.

Shared with Beerhunter111 and Koelschtrinker. Smooth mild beginning. Easy to drink with soft grainy parts. Fruity and soft with not too much grain in the back, a bit dusty. Ok.
