the lowest quality beer i’ve come across from SN but probably because it was a old bottle.. grainy aroma with almost no hops left.. taste was basic grainy, light malt. body was thin but foam was impressive and thick.

2007 bottle. Very light clear yellow colour with a big white head. Citrus, lemon and hops in the aroma. Malt flavour with more citrus and just a hint of hops in the finish. Decent.

355 ml bottle from 2007 release. Pours a bright clear golden yellow with a decent white head. Bready nose with a touch of citrus. Medium body with a modest malt profile against a slightly edgy hop finish.
