Bottle at home, 29/01/17. Hazed amber with a well appointed cream cap. Nose is caramel, bread, straw, fruit esters, light floral notes. Taste comprises caramel malt, rye evident, light spice, light herbal notes, bread dough, orange rinds, chalky mineral bite. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok but not really setting my beer world alight.
