Above average macro/micro that I am happy to fall back on in the absence of an extensive range of options. It’s consistent – and that’s important.

A simple beer but does the job every time I enjoy a couple of bottles. Very light and fluffy, bubbly head with some small amount of lacing. The aroma is a simple malt base with some sweetness.

Amber hue typifies the style and reflects the malt bill nicely.

Nice malty, balanced bitterness is the key, and a smoothness that is usually missing from mass produced beers. The tangy bitterness is balanced by some sweetness too.

A decent offering that does the job.
