Aroma is light malty, caramel, moderate hoppy light flowers, some toffee. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration, and a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is creamy, carbonation is flat.

Amber coloured, little lacing head; some hoppy and "barrique" notes in the nose, yeast also; moderate bitter flavour, slightly yeasty taste; creamy texture, medium soft bitter finish; quaffable, but too light bodied for me.....

Sampled cask conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Sweden.
Orange-golden. Sulphury and lightly flowery aroma. Light bodied with superb softly maltiness and slight fruitiness. Very soft mouthfeel and with balanced bitter finish. An excellent traditional bitter.
