Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Thanks to our host. Almost clear gold -amber beer. Tiny pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry and minerally crisp. Lactose streaked light pale malts. Dry creamy sweetness. Orange peel hop bitterness. Some floralness. Light dry finish. Bitter linger. Somewhat thin and dry but okay.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The nose is toasty, cracker, brown bread, stewed oranges, tangerine and dull sherbet. The taste is crisp, toasty, earth, wood, grainy, caramel, oily orange and grapefruit rind with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not bad. OK amber.
