500ml bottle in an English pint. Pours golden with a big, lacy, white head. Aroma of light fruits and spices, floral hops, and some pale malts. Flavor about the same, with a nice blend of everything, but a little flat/watery. A decent bitter.

Bottle conditioned, so opened with care after a bit of a rough ride into the woods! Very well worth pondering this beer. Winner of many beer awards. Very hoppy, but no bitter edge, a bit more floral, and a slight hint of fruit, a little zesty. Earthy ending.

Bottle at home. Clear golden pour, thick foamy white head. Aroma is slightly spicy, a bit murky and with crispy hops. Flavor is bitter, somewhat creamy and with a decent body. Not too bad, but also nothing special.
