500ml bottle bought at the National Brewery Center, shared with Finn on a train to Grimsby. Stable off white head, spotty lacing, misty amber body. Inviting aromas of leafy hops and doughy malts. Rounded taste character of leafy hops, biscuit, and mid-sweet malts. Moments of resinous bitterness to the ending. Pretty good. (15.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på tog mellom Nottingham & Grimsby. Amber. Middels høyt kremaktig som daler sakte & etterlater tynn lacing. God malt & karamellaroma. Smaken som aromaen. Balansert. Tørr bitter kjeksaktig avslutning.
