500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers mate!]. Very nice, clear, ruby-chestnut colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Mellow, minimally nuttily malty and slightly leafy, minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, cautious hints of red berries, plum, cherry, a touch of hazelnut. Taste is mellow malty, minimally nutty, slightly fruity and minimally leafy hoppy, hints of red berries, a touch of plum and cherry, hazelnut. Creamy texture, smooth and super-soft palate, fine and gentle carbonation. Well crafted.
