Listed at 4.2% and almost definitely a standard bitter. Pours with a clear golden to orange body with a white head. Aromas are bready, estery, nutty, biscuit, pear and a hint of diacetyl. Flavors are bready, lightly minerally, estery, fruity, cracker and seltzer water. Oddly lively and dry for a bitter. Spritzy even.

Tap. Pours with a hazed golden-orange body and a white head. Aromas of banana, vanilla, grainy, perfume, clove, slightly husky and bready. Flavors feature vanilla and clove over the banana, but those esters and phenols are all strong. A slight hint of a smokey chlorophenol slightly detracts. Dry, bready, grainy, slightly full wheaty mouthfeel. Lively bubbles. Medium bodied to even slightly full for the style.
