500ml bottle: BBE Mar 15. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged pint vase in Jan 15. As the name suggests, this is a light golden brew, clean and clear, with a snow white topping that lasted. Light malty sweetness dominated the nose and taste for me, a little one dimensional but nothing offensive or nasty. let’s say OK without testing your taste buds to greatly.

Bottle @ home. Lightly hazy orange amber color, small off-white head. Aroma is malts, sweetish, dried fruits. Taste lightly malts, dried fruits, light to moderately bitter and I get a touch of oatmeal. Or at least it reminds me of oatmeal. And biscuits. Low to average body, average carbonation.
