Bottle conditioned: 500ml BBD 1 Oct 2014, poured slowly into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 23 Aug 2013. No sediment left the bottle, so I got a clean, clear brew of an amber colour that had a golden hue, on top a smooth white foaming head.

The nose was yeasty, woody and floral. Some semi-sweet maltiness as the beer warmed (the bottle asked for the beer to be served 'cool').

Tasted fine: a pleasant blend of flavours with a young, almost green feel to it, the yeast still working on the other ingredients somewhat. Malts, which seem to be lightly roasted vie with the hops to give a well balanced and easy drinking brew. The alcohol content sits nicely within the flavours and suits the beer.

Should I have allowed the sediment into my tankard? Maybe, the beer would have been cloudy of course, but the depth of flavour might well have been deeper and more richer, I'll never know.
