Straw to gold, healthy tight persistent head. Fairly swet caramel and noble hop aroma - whole hops - very English, maybe fuggles or similar. Rich burnt malt and husky taste - horse saddle. Slight paperiness comes out in the hops after a while. Quite refreshing, doesn’t feel like a 5% beer, pretty easy to quaff.
