3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Clybourn. Pours a quite clear pale gold with a sticky white head. The nose is quite herbal, hints of citrus and spicy noble hopping. Some subtle wheat comes across. On tasting, it is firmly bitter and a touch spicy, good malt profile with wheat noted. Clean and crisp, a nice drinker though more of a summer beer, imo.
