Review and Tasting

Sampled on 26/05/2022

Appearance:

Slight haze, bright golden amber with think and retentive white head.

Aroma:

Grassy hops and crusty white baguette.

Taste:

Medium-bodied. Assertively bitter grassy hops and delicious, almost sweet, French baguette-like bready malt.

Aftertaste:

Citrusy notes influence a long grassy hop and baguette-like bready finish.

Overall:

Cleansing hop bitterness sits alongside delicious French baguette-like bready maltiness. Yum!
