Bottled. Slighly hazy golden colour with a mediumsized white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is crisp maltiness along with some yeast and mild herbal and fruity tones. Flavour is wooden, some crisp maltiness, mild mineralic and some salty tones. Nice lingering grassy/earthy bitterness to it. Mild yeastiness, otherwise very nice take on Kölsch.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a light copper with minimal off-white head. Aroma is mainly malts, with hints of caramel and toffee. In the mouth it is sweet with some slight underlying bitterness. Fter a while som traditional hops come through plus hints of honey, ginger and toffee. Some bitterness in the finish. This is a good solid old school bitter.
