Nice foam on a clear medium gold body. Soft honey and biscuit on the nose. Taste is a very weak cereal, slight grain sweetness, okay carbonation but otherwise wet. Really unmemorable, even for a low key ale.

Modest copper body and okay foam. Mellow sweet cereal malts, soft light biscuit on the nose, slight caramel. Taste is mellow cereal grains, soft malt sweetness. Ends crisp and full. Not bad, a little casual.
