Touch of fruitiness on the nose, lightly bitter on the nose but then there is a nice tingle from the hops and a light burn on the tongue, nice furry bitterness. Really lovely stuff, good citrus flavour’s coming through, lemon peel, clingy, stringy bitterness continuing, great beer but alongside Marble Dobber its in some very special company.
