A really good showcase on how great this style is on nitro. Though not unusual in some places, it is unusual in my local. Beautiful amber pour, tan cream, thick mousse foam head. Mellow malt aroma. Flavor is a nutty grain, bready as well, a bit of bran like taste that lingers. Silky cream body that sits nicely parallel with the malt bill. Really nice brew here.

On nitro tap at Wander, pours a clear golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of English bready malt, low on the hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with dry English bready malt, and some hoppy astringency on the finish. Nothing special, but it's competently brewed.

Draught at the brewery, on nitro
Clean amber color with large nitro head. Some nice malt quality, biscuity, bready, with good bitterness level, wood hints, tannins, dark caramel; mouthfeel is soft and not weak.
Despite the negative impact of the nitro, it’s a good one.
