Keg @ Station. Pours gold, medium white topping. Unfortunately became clear very quickly that this is suffering from quite a serious diacetyl problem, lots of thornton's toffee on the nose, lots of butterscotch to taste. There is some underlying mosaic hop, but generally this is undrinkable. Will have to re-rate a future batch.
