Hazy amber. Thin head. Sweeter, sticky, light fruity yeast, mellow alcohol, good balance, the malt they bring fits well here, and the yeast lends a delicate fruitiness.

On tap at Optimism, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out English bready malt, toffee and a little molasses. Flavour is likewise English in character, with toffee, light molasses and English caramel bready malt. Nicely constructed - you don't get this English strong ale over here often, but this is very nice.
