Bottle, 0.5l. Clear copper pour with one finger creamy white head. Good retention and lacing. Very pleasant on the nose, good hop profile. Grassy, herbal. Malty backbone. Medium body with soft carbonation. Thick and smooth texture. Pleasantly bitter taste. Typical british hop character, herbal and grassy. Malty. Notes of caramel and toffee. Candy in the mouthfeel. Peppery. Dry and bitter finish. Overall, pretty good. Fairly complex and nicely balanced brew. Refreshing.
