Can at home picked up from Adnams shop in Southwold. A clear mid gold yellow coloured pour with a loose white head, that fades to a whisp. Aroma is leafy hops, grass, sileage, earthy cereals, light honey notes. Flavour is composed of wet grassy hops, fennel, sileage, green matter, cereal grains, eathy green malts. Palate is semi crisp, little thin, light chalk. moderate fine carbonation. Meh, pretty bland. Galaxy hops are not shown well here.

Old rating - This time from a mini keg although I've had it in the bottle at home a few years back. Kegs were pretty poor way to store the ale compared to bottle conditioned.
