Can picked up at the brewery. Clear orange gold. Decent sticky just off white foam. Nose has semi sweet nutty malts. Hint of caramel. Floral honeyed hop notes. Whiff of pepper. Taste is bready nutty sweet with a good leaf mulch type bitterness. Nice feel on the palate with foamy carbonation and good depth of body. Tidy bitter finish.

Can picked up at the brewery. Also on tap at source. Light haze on a pale yellow. Very slim white foam. Nose has crisp lemony hop. Orange pith. Taste has the swiftest of a sweet flicker but, as advertised, it’s bone dry. Very light crisp and refreshing. Drinks mighty easy. Dry and lightly bitter finish. Solid gear. Could imagine a sloppy 6 pints of this.

Good body for the strength.
