Appearance: Clear, light amber in color, with a small white head, which collapses quickly, leaving only a scattering of foam.
Aroma: Rich, malty aroma with herbal hop notes, and a bit of earth.
Taste: Rich, slightly toasty malt notes from start to finish, with rather bitter metallic notes, which linger on well past the close of the taste.
Mouth feel: Smooth and full, pleasant.
Drinkablility/notes: Very pleasant and quaffable session beer, but the fact that the beer uses organic ingredients seems like a marketing gimmick.

Bottled and sadly missing bottle conditioning to make it truly organic and give it the flavour it truly required
Pours an okay amber beer with little in the way of aroma or flavour
