Bottle served into Anchor 2/3 Glass
A - Golden Colour with no head leaving no lacing
S - mainly malt, some grassy hop notes.
T - More malt than hop, yeast, small amount of grass and citrus at the end
Overall, a really decent beer apart from the appearance. Not my thing but glad I tried it :)

330ml brown bottle purchased from the brewery in Bermondsey.
Pours a fairly hazed bright golden colour, fairly deep and burnished. Head forms a frothy, persistent and solid cap of white that leaves some streaks of foamy lace as it goes down. Carbonation is fine, but rushing through the fairly light. Body. Looks good overall though.
Nose is very nice, bright clean hoppiness, with the Polaris providing an unusually vegetative or herbal note to the mix, a little bit like freshly chopped silverbeet. Malt is fairly neutral, but does provide a bit of surrounding basis. Overall, solid stuff.
Taste is also pretty clean, pleasant and well-balanced, with a fruitiness coming from the Cascade hops that sits nicely alongside the fresh, slightly grainy malt. Rustic, slightly dusty bitterness towards the back cleans it up, providing a dry, powdery feel in the finish. Really nicely balanced, and really very quaffable. Very nice stuff.
Overall, I'm impressed once again by BBNo. This is such a well-crafted brew, smooth, light and really easy to drink, but with lots of flavour and complexity when you look for it. Really nice stuff.
