Pale, orange lucozade color, with a billowing ivory head.
Huge and sweet biscuit malts dominate the nose. The taste is just the same with a classic English bitter feel where the sweet malts dominate around the low ABV and the mild hop presence. Mouthfeel is silky smooth and perfect for the style.
The finish allows the mandatory hops to cut in, to give a satisfyingly bitter and lingering end. A very, very nicely put together package. My only criticism is a slightly too dry an ending. It is a little too puckering for me. Apart from that, a great little package.
I would imagine that when this is ultra-fresh it is unbelievable. My sample was not especially fresh, but it was still a cracking beer.
