Soft medium-dark gold with a frothy lasting off-white head. Smells of grain/malt, caramel and a light fruitiness. Medium oily body with soft carbonation. Tastes sweet like apple with a light bitter grassy average finish. Some bread and fruit. A decent session beer.

Bottle at Pat’s Birthday Tasting, London. Pours clear, brown-gold with a bubbly head. Grainy malts in the nose, with hints of apple. Light to medium sweet flavor with more apple essence. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly dry with mild leafy bitterness. Fine.
