Clear amber color, decent off-white head. Aroma has odd dry yeast feeling, not much else going on. Light-bodied. Watery. Sharp dry flavor. Dry finish too. Pale malts, some earthy hops, quite easy.

Certainly one of the oddest rates i have had. On handpull at Whittlebury Hotel in Northamptonshire. Dark brown colour lasting cream head. Dry malt malty aroma. This carries on into the mouth with a load of toast coming in at the end. A reasonably tasty malty best bitter. Apart from the sparkler pretty good. Certainly soft with touch of earthy hop.
