Clear 500ml bottle (Bottle Conditioned) with a thin layer of sediment visable at the base of the beer. Best before 10 Mar 09, drank 24 Jan 09.

Poured into a 'Old Speckled Hen' vase pint glass.

Mahogany brown in colour with very little head, it was an off-white almost tan coloured wisp.

Aroma of malted barley, the label mentions both Cascade and Galena Hops, but I couldn't tell you what they smell like anyway!

No overly impressed and this is the first of three beers from this brewery I am intending to review today (I often drink the beers I review while on line). Malty, but lacking anything else, it isn't in great condition either, a bit flat and bland to be honest.
