Moderate sweetness with medium bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Developing earthy bitterness to finish. Good looking beer and quite enjoyable..

Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2019. Cask @ Paramount, Manchester. Golden with a deeper glow to it and a creamy head. It has a nice malty base which compliments its hops. This provides a mid bitterness.

Bottle from Craft & Berry. Appearance - golden with a slightly off-white head Nose - caramel, in fact honey. Taste - more honey, some wholemeal bread and just a hint of lemon. Palate - creamy, light to medium body. At the very end there's a bit of hop cleaning up. Overall - too sweet to start with though it did grow on me a bit.
