Pours mid amber (pretty much on the dark side for the style) with some haziness. Medium sized white head, good enough retention and a bit of lacing. Not much intensity in a clean, simple aroma: bready, slightly biscuity notes, maybe the slightest hint of nuttiness, a touch of honey. Taste notes as per aroma, mainly malty as the smell suggested though with a plus of gentle earthy hoppiness. Slightly sweet in the mouth with a pleasant hint of warmth, excellent balance in a perfectly clean finish/aftertaste. Light to medium bodied, delicate carbonation; feels super easy to drink but also gives a light, comforting warming sensation. Overall a relatively simple but very well made beer. Not especially rich or intense, but balance, refinement and delicacy are top notch.
