LCRBM2: toffee and citrus in the aroma. Light citric flavor with a touch of raspberry. Throughout this beer I can smell and taste a green vegetable character.

(bottle) Clear straw coloured with big white head. Pleasant and intriguing aroma; citrus dominates but there is grass and spice plus some subtle barnyard notes. Medium body, well carbonated. Lovely refreshing flavour with subtle interesting things going on - tangy and spicey, but there is some really interesting character I think from the yeast. There’s a decent bitter finish. Overall I really enjoyed this (I see that mine will be the highest rating so far). It was a very nice refreshing beer with some interesting subtle character. (It was also a few months past its nominal best before date).

Birra di modesta fattura, e purtroppo bevuta in condizioni non perfette. Godibilità moderata.
