Half-pint. A clear amber body under a pearl white head leaving rich lacing on the glassware. Inviting aromas of mild caramel malts and ripe fruits. Blended taste profile with impacts of caramel malts, dried fruits, and biscuit. Smooth hop fruity finish with a bitter touch. Pretty good. (Liverpool, 14.02.2025).
