330ml bottle. Clear, reddish golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Malty aroma with a touch of toffee, jelly baby sweetness, a cautious herbal-nuttily touch. Taste is nuttily malty, bitter hoppy overtones, minimally oaky. Not much outcome considering the expenditure of ingredients.
