Golden brown in colour, the brew uses Magnum hops to create a prominent bittering, Centennial hops for a delicate lemon aroma then dry hopped with Mount Hood to create a herbal flavour in the beer. Honey gives a sweet, resinous coating in the mouth that softens the bitterness, leaving a slight medicinal-herb aftertaste.

Bottle shared at Yesprโs. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is honey, butterscotch, floral, hot-corss bun, spice and glazed doughnut. The taste is honey, floral, prickly bitterness, stone fruits, citrus peel and touch of herb with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty interesting stuff.

500ml bottle from Cheese & Wine shop Darlington. Browny gold colour, frothy white head that diminishes and aroma of spice, honey. Taste is similar, sweetish, honey, toffee, cinnamon spice, with a tangy light bitterness. Smooth watery mouthfeel, light bodied, medium carbonation, dry herby earthy lingering bitter finish. OK.
