The beer is dark copper hued, has an off-white firm small head, some lacing. Small curtains.

Smelling faintly of toffee, honey and pears.

Sweet bread with syrup, grass and ripe apples, bitter apple seeds.

Medium carbonation, fresh and smooth feeling, a medium body and a dry smooth finish.

A nice honest ale!

The colour is warm brown, the liquid is clear. The finger thick head is compact, it leaves lots of lacing.

The smell is malty with hints of smoke and grapefruit-hoppy flavours. Dried fruits, citric notes and some Digistive biscuits. Fresh hops. There is a weak sourness, too. It is a bit hard to get into this beer.

The taste is pleasantly hopped, I notice some American grapefruit hops. Fresh hops, too. And hints of roasted malts; apricots, earth and dark rye bread. Some stout-like malty flavours in the aftertaste, earthy hints and a soft bitterness and weak hints of dry-sour fruits.

The carbonation is medium strong; small bubbles. The liquid is light and dry.

A good ale with some earthy brown ale-flavours and a delicious combination of hops.
