Review and Tasting

Sampled on 07/05/2017

Appearance:

(sample bottle best before 15/Apr/17) Clear, golden amber with retentive ivory white head and spotted lacing.

Aroma:

Wet white bread/sweetcorn maltiness with cut grass, zesty citrus and toffee.

Taste:

Light to medium-bodied. Light sweetcorn bready malty notes are invigorated with assertive grassy and zesty orange/red grapefruit hops. Some resinous pine bitterness and faint lychee fruitiness.

Aftertaste:

Dry, lightly bitter finish.

Overall:

A session strength pale ale with enough grassy and zesty hoppyness to make interesting without being challenging.
