Brewery draught, 4/8/22. Light mahogany with ruby tints. Beige head fades quickly to ring. High clarity. Fruity, fairly malty nose shows classic yeast strain notes of date, raisin, clove and white pepper. Malts add a pinch of caramel and various breads. No alcohol or flaw. Low-to-moderate malt suppleness, very high attenuation and with ample fruity and spicy esters and phenols appropriate to the style. They seem to have got good fermentation character here, though it feels borderline over-attenuated/thin. Still, it's clean and not full of nasty bubble gum/clove/banana.
