Tap at the brewery taproom. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, lactose vanilla. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a crisp, malt, light citrus, light gluey, floral, super sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Only hints of bitterness in the finish but lots of sweetness all the way through which was a little too much for me.

Slightly hazy gold with a creamy white head and a subtle aroma of light biscuit malt and a hint of fruit. Smooth and creamy, with an upfront hop bitterness, a bit of a peppery kick and a nice amount of sweetish biscuit malt to balance things out, with a dry finish
