Golden ale with a small head. Slightly malty but hardly noticeable, it simply has an easy drinking character.

BlackHaddock (2350) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - JUN 20, 2012
25th Feb 2012: Hand pulled pint in The Raven, a sports pub in Wellington: Shropshire. Light golden/amber body with a full but thin white crown of bubbles. Mixed bag in the aroma: malty molasses blend in with a floral/citrus hop smell, the malts being slightly stronger. The taste is also a blend of the aforementioned flavours: a malty sweetness mixed in with a hop semi-bitterness with an almost sour/dry finish. Body depth was good; this is a nicely put together brew
