330ml bottle. Thoroughly enjoyable ale that refreshes well and has a nice balance. Good smooth taste, slips down well, and decent balanced amount of carbonation. Tasty.

Just a graet all around pale ale. Medium hoppy nose, nice sweet floral notes. Some really good carmel notes on the finished layered with mild bitterness.
