3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
50cl bottle. Pours cloudy amber with steady bubbles and a very generous head, The nose has toffee and malt initially, then biscuits come through. The taste is similar - toffee that fades into a tangy biscuit finish. The palate is pretty well balanced - at least medium in structure, then a good consistent texture through the middle section then falling away gently at the end. Overall, this is a good bitter.
