Bottle at C&R Pre-GBBF Tasting 2017. It pours clear rich amber – copper with a thick white head. The aroma is quite fresh, rich, malt – driven, bready, bitter – sweet, honey, hint of orange marmalade and cereal. The taste is crisp, dry, firm bitterness, zingy lemon, lime, cereal, grass, toasted grain, wood, leather and spice with a dry, woody finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rather pleasant and fresh stuff overall. Good for style.
