Аромат типичный для английского эля, европейский хмель, намек на карамель, ощущается немного цитрусовых ноток, конечно солод. Цвет темно желтый, пенка есть но быстро падает. Во вкусе сразу есть хмель с горчинкой. Чувствуется хмель с намеками на мед и немного карамели. Послевкусие уже травянистое, с сильной горчинкой, и снова есть цитрусы. В целом нормально но конечно немного не в моем стиле.

500ml bottle. Pours a near clear gold with thin white head. A citric, earthy and light perfumed soap aroma. Quite a punchy bitter session pale with malt, toffee, wood, orange, grapefruit, resin, soap. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi-drying with light sticky mouthfeel. It's ok.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Black with small beige top. Roast, chocolate, hint of fruit, slightly dusty on the nose. Taste is quite roasty with chocolate, coffee, hint of caramel, a light wheat tang but not particularly fruity. Fairly light bodied to begin but by the end of each sip there is a slight creamy texture with the help of oats. Its quite good.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear light amber with small off-white head. Slightly dulled malty aroma but notes of banana, caramel and light hops. Taste of caramel, fruit cake, banana, orange zest, a building sweetness but has a good bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied but slick, average carbonation. Lacks some depth for the style and strength but I rather liked the simplicity. What there is was tasty and it went down well.
