Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, deep golden with next to no head. Nutty, caramellish aroma, your typical British yeast and hops. Medium body, lowish carbonation, sweet caramel, somewhat fruity with a bitter finish. If this contains any American aromahops then their aromatic character has been completely lost in this. 151216
