Growler from Brusin Ales, way via DoBoy (Thanks Ed). Poured a hazy medium golden, aroma of floral hops with a hint of pine and sweet malts. Flavour was citrus and orange tones, with slight pine hop character that really balances out this beer. The bittering was well balanced with the caramel malt. Medium bodied with a creamy character in the mouth feel. Simply, wonderful, well made beer. Quaffable too.
