Clear golden colour with lasting fluffy head. There's a nice hop profile with a balance of piney base notes, well rounded floral notes and a lighter citrus peel element.

Bottle 4.1%. Lovely clear mahogany brown colour with lasting head. It's a full flavoured malty bitter. Very sessionable. Just the right level of floral bitterness too.
