dark golden colour, moderate sized dense, ecru-ish head; aroma of grassy, lemongrassy, hay, grainy, some floral and herbal notes; taste of a well-balanced lager with fruity--apple peel-like and similar notes to the aroma, as well as some spiciness in the aftertaste; good one!

Bottle at home from the Beer Shop in Hitchin. Great pour and looked lovely in the glass. This is a classic example of the style with rich sweet malts and well balanced hops. Really good

A deep golden yellow to light amber-colored with white, fine-pored head of foam that lasts moderately well. The aroma is strongly malty, richly grainy and doughy-bready. A strong and full malt aroma also dominates. Slightly estery apple notes beckon from the background, but these do not affect the fresh character of this beer. The hops hardly play a role and only have a slightly spicy note that blends excellently with the malty components. The mouthfeel can be described as soft, fresh, almost creamy and full-bodied. It even leaves your lips slightly sticky. Absolutely typical of the style! The malt notes dominate the aftertaste too, although after a while a slightly dry, classic hop aroma with a delicate bitterness sets in. This calls for another sip and the drinkability is enormous.
This beer invites you to drink more than just a half pint. This full-bodiedness, this strong malt aroma and the incredibly high drinkability make this beer definitely one of the best in its style.
