Lots of orange on the nose, coriander is present but not overwhelming. I’m not wholly sure of the flavour combination here, kind of became less interesting the more I drank

Pours amber with little to no head. Aroma of grain and botanicals. Taste has more grain, some spice. Palate has much of the same, some light hops, aromatics that linger on the nose. Good. Thanks to Dad for snagging this for me.
