Copper colour, small beige head. Resiny and grassy aroma with some caramalty notes, even a bit mentholy. Medium-bodied. Malty, grassy hoppy, some pine and resin in the flavour. Feels easier than 8% and gives kind of Fullers Vintage Ale vibe. Nice.

Rated this a while back but something clearly went wrong as no rating now. From memory it was descent enough without being overly exciting.

Smell of sweet malt, caramel. Deep copper colour, small beige head. Aroma of caramalt, fruit candy, some nutty note, strong hoppy bitterness in finish. Soft carbon, slightly oily texture. Starts medium sweet, finishes bitter. Interesting, but not fully non-conflicting combo.
