Sweetish, malty and slightly grassy with hints of pine, citrus and grapefruit. Easy going, a bit watery

Not as light looking as most of this style, with some decent golden-yellow colours, a frothy white cap, good stay and thick foamy lacing. Fresh cereal malt aromas with some apples notes. A crisp mouthfeel with just enough dryness for the style - not sticking, nor syrupy like some - but not thin as well. Some good cereal grain in the taste with just a touch of hops. Quite a refreshing, easy-drinking Light Lager, but with some substance to it. Nicely done!

7

Bold hop profile but the mango comes through really nicely in the finish.

6

Mild rye notes, surprisingly easy drinker.

6

Heavy on the nutmeg, a little bit of clove. More herbal than I expected.

6

Strong malt body with some caramel notes, finishes a little bitter.

6

Bready malts, a little sweet, nice crispness. Classic cream ale.
