Well, given the very high standards set by the brewery, this is not their best beer, but nevertheless a solid effort.

Has that somewhat unattractive, drab brown appearance that I find a little disappointing. Some samll head and a little lacing, but neither of any great substance.

Overall the experience I got was of one of muted fruitiness, and a very upfront dry character. Neither of which were offensive, but both of which I felt were a slight let-down.

Mouthfeel was probably the best part, with a satisfying denseness to the brew. Outside of that, better than average, but a weaker brew for this outstanding brewery.
