Bottle from Micro Beer Crate. Pours a golden-orange, small white head. Aroma is malty with caramel notes but also a fruitiness with apple and raisins. Taste is toffee and floral hop noted with some fruitiness, picking up raisins and pear Medium bodied, between smooth and chewy. Quite nice.

500ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. It pours dark gold, clear with a small loose off-white head. Hay, bread, caramel in the aroma. Sweet taste, a little cloying but not too bad, tempered with bitter hops closer to the finish. More caramel in the aftertaste with bitterness on the back of the tongue. Full body with soft carbonation. Okay.

Dark yellow and clear with lasting lacy head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of maltiness. Slightly sweet and slightly toasted. Nice full mouthfeel.
