Bottle shared at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting 2013 - London. Pours mostly clear copper with a fine, white froth head. Dry and leathery fruits in the nose, light leaves, dry bready malts. Light to medium sweet flavor with further dry, leathery fruits, toasty bread and leafy hops. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly sticky to finish, some toasty sugars. OK.

Tasting at ChrisO’s. Light haze on this amber beer, little pale tan head. Light crisp palate. Mild minerals. Light but bitter hops - fresh citrus. Bitterish fresh finish. Good hops!
