A light coloured, moreish ale brewed with the finest Maris Otter Hops and Crystal Malts. A hint of torrified wheat is added producing a satisfying and complex flavour. A fresh dry aftertaste is supported by a fairly hoppy character.

50cl bottle from Gordon and MacPhail. Pours golden with gentle bubbles and a nice head, though this disappears fairly quickly. The nose has sweet lemon against a profile which reminds me of breakfast cereal sodden in milk. The taste is similarly dominated by a sweet maltiness. The palate has a light to medium body with a creamy texture in the middle section though Iβd like to have experienced more hops on the finish which is a little flabby. Overall, not the worst but not worth revisiting.
