On tap at Barley Merchant, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has a rather muddled earthy hop character, maybe a touch of pine and citrus, and bready malt. Flavour has a rather tired hop expression—sweaty, earthy—and a dry bready malt base. Not too pleasant a hop expression. The balance and structure are fine but the hops aren’t.
