[bottle] Pleasant, sweet malt aroma complemented by some citrus and floral hops as well as a touch of bread crust. Clear, dark gold under a lasting, lacy white flannel blanket. Spicy, bread crust malt flavour with a little cardboard and faint hops flavour. Balance is towards sweet, but there is still a dose of bitterness that comes in fairly early. Medium body, moderate carbonation, peppery cardboard finish.
