Barwa miedziana, klarowna. Piana biała, średniej wysokości, nawet całkiem trwała. W aromacie lekki karmel, ziołowość, taka dosyć typowa słodowość, ale generalnie nienajgorszy. W smaku trochę herbata, słodowość skontrowana dość dobrą goryczką, wyczuwalne nuty karmelu, ziół i owoców. Wysycenie jak najbardziej na odpowiednim poziomie, jest bardzo pijalne i jednocześnie nie jest jakieś strasznie wodniste. Generalnie jest w nim to, co powinno być w bitterze, nie jest jakiś szczególnie powalający, ale przystępny.
