Bottle thanks to Wingman. It pours amber with a decent white head. The nose is soft, grainy, sweet, toasty, candy, apple and soft fruits. The taste is crisp, sweet, grainy, oily, apple, pear, apple, toasty, white sugar and grain with a short finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty basic, but not horrific.

Bottle courtesy of Flbh (the wingwoman). Golden amber white head. Smells bready. Tastes bready with a bit of honey. Not the best to be honest but a new country!
