Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy amber with a very slim head. Nose - fruit and nut bar. Caramel biscuits too. Taste - initial fruit and biscuit. Then a bit flat and astringent. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a finish that kind of falls away. Overall - solid but not amazing.

Hazy deep amber beer. Decent white head. Smooth palate. Tangy bitter start, then some malt balance. Slightly toffee. Finishes semi dry and minerally. Not bad.
