Can from Sainsbury's online. It pours clear golden - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is toasty grain husks, some hay, nuttiness, cereal, biscuity malt and grass. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, touch of bitterness, straw, grass, peppery spice, toasty.grains, nutty, floral, slightly soapy accents and bitter lemon peel with a drying, spicy finish. Lighter body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough.

Kopparfärgad och grumlad vätska med ett tunt skumtäcke. Arom av kakor och rostad karamell. Kladdig maltighet med låg men lätt blommig beska. Len munkänsla och en rätt kort eftersmak.
