Light-medium sweet flavor with sturdy smoke, beechwood, dark fruits, dark toast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Well balanced to finish with some milk chocolate, lingering smoked malts, burnt wood. Nice depth, good balance. Really solid.

Bottle shared at Leightons house. Thanks to LNS. Hazed golden coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is pine, varnish, grass hop. Maybe a little veg matter in there. Flavour is crisp straw and pale malts, tangy orange, citrus. Strange yeast character, maybe a little saison like. Palate is medium light with highish carbonation. Semi dry finish. Nice interesting beer.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours lightly hazy golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, fruity, orange, spice, candied peel and sherbet. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, citrus peel, sherbet, mild grass, light spice and straw with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Nice as punchy and bitter as I was hoping for. OK session-type stuff.
