The intriguing story of going back to basics to get the hop and malt balance just so. We make use of four malts and three hops, each from different countries. Black malt to add complexity, Crystal malt to add a slight sweetness and improve body. Hops with an almost botanical feel give an earthy yet fresh taste with a subtle bitterness. The equilibrium of hop and malt gives Aurora great flavour retention for a lingering hoppiness. Altogether a beautiful display and highly drinkable.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear rich amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, oily, floral, tangerine, orange and Cointreau. The taste is smooth, peppery spice, wood, earth, leather, light caramel, resinous, tangerine and some oily orange with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Quite interesting flavour profile, which overall works rather well.
