A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Palate is light and smooth and mildly dry, modest fine carbonation. Light smooth malts, a fair deal of creamy sweetness, trace of caramel. Mellow ripe citrus, modest pine. Light finish. A very mellow affair indeed but just about dodges being bland. Can imagine this going with all sorts of mild English food but not with a decent Ruby.
