Aroma: Bready, malty, nutty, clean Appearance: Reddish brown. Low head, light cabrnation, creamy mouthfeel, light body Flavour: Aggressive attack of clean malt, but not cloying or overly sweet. Malt disappears leaving a mineral,dry finish. Clean and smooth Overall: Refreshing, not too sweet. very well balanced between clean malt and dry finish. No ester character. Predominantly malt with low roastiness and mineral dyness as it finishes. I could drink lots of this beer.

Bottle from a London Oddbins. Sweet, malty, not very impressive, an old fashioned beer. Not enough bitterness, though there are some hoppy flowers in the finish.
