Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pale amber, light fizz and a thin white head. Decent mouthfeel for the strength at first but seems to get more watery towards the end. Dusty and twiggy up front before some lemon comes through. Dry and bitter finish. Grew on me, quite enjoyed it in an old school bitter kind of way.
