Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma is a bit like honey nut cornflakes, grainy, malty and caramel. Taste has the caramel coming through with more biscuity grainy elements. Nice finish.

Keg at Beer Hatch in Norwich, just down the road towards the river from the Cathedral. Deeper hazy amber with a head. Has a very low sourness for a brew in this style - appealing sugary-hoppy notes are more than evident here, with blueberry light but evident in both aroma and taste.
