500ml bottle from the brewery. Look - slightly hazy dark gold/light amber, small fluffy white head, nice lacing. Aroma - biscuit malts, citrus and a light fruity hop. Taste - malty, crackers, bitter, astringent and yeasty, light fruit hop. Palate - medium body with a clingy dryness. Overall - not quite balanced for me but some good flavours.
