Thanks Simon. Great fruity malty nose. The beer starts malty dry. Easy to drink with a great malty back. Grain, hints of red fruit, caramel over a smooth mild bitter earthy back. Sessionable, dry bitter, round caramel bitter.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - sulphur, and perhaps something funky. Taste - more of the same. Palate - well, I’ve implied it all above. Overall - I’m not sure this is how the brewer intended.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and a bit of caramel, leading to a lightly bitter finish.
