Bottle at L42 - thanks to Mr Kew Osprey. It pours lightly hazy gold with a thick white head. The aroma is soft, floury white bread, cracker, soda water and light florals. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy hop, wood, minerals, general fruity vibe, floral notes and soap with a drying finish. Light body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty ho hum.
