Fairly poor looking from the tap, it doesn't help that the staff here are trained to pour with as little head as possible. Slightly hazy golden colour, lacking carbonation, looks pretty flat and dull.
Nose is a bit simple, slight trace of honey, fair amount of malt, slight herbal bitterness but not very much. Pretty blah.
Taste is okay, slightly fruity characters with apple and honey on the front. Slight bitterness on the back, not overdone but fairly dank and unappealing. Palate is a bit short, finish is clean enough but doesn't leave me with a lot.
Mouthfeel quite sharp, and yet thin. Certainly nothing exciting going on here.
Overall it's just a bit flat, I'm afraid. Nothing really going on.

a) Looks like a Cooper's clone. Hazy pale orange / dark yellow. Nice tight, tiny bubbled head.
s) Honey initially - no discernable hop aroma. Maybe too cold. Warms to some grain huskiness.
f) Bran cereal, honey sweetness, floral/herbal hop flavour, which has improved on last visit.
m) A touch thin, slightly hollow, with a late bitterness.
