Hazy amber, lot of bubblegum on the nose, sweet, not much hop and when it comes in it is incongruous. Butter too, ok first day open it’s a miss but you can’t win ’em all.

Very pale, clean pale malt, some grassy hop. Light brew for Steamwhistle fans.
As Kellerbier, which is unfiltered pilsner on cask. Hazy, pale, aroma is yeasty and lightly malty. It’s the Pilsner with haze. Sweet, bland and with a slightly breezy malt character. Not a kellerbier. 4 5 5 2 11

Cask @ Brewpub (as Amber Rye, 6.8%)
Pours amber orange with a smooth head. Aroma of hops, caramely malts, pine and lemon. Taste is smooth, citrusy and caramely malty with some floral hops, pine and lemon. Finish is sweetish, floral hoppy and malty with some caramel, citrus and pine. Nicely hopped and smooth amber ale.
