Side pour, Brighton, 4/2/25.
As pictured.
Clean, fairly floral, excellent mineral and delicate honey. Hops, malt, yeast all lovely and sharing space.
Rich and malty with plenty of honey and biscuit. Dried herbs, flowers, soft malts and a dry finish with ample but not-overdone bitterness. Per usual, an incredible amount of flavor for its size.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes go skim surface. Hay and biscuit aromas. Soft with sweet hay and biscuit upfront turning to peppery earth in the dry, medium length finish
