From a 500ml bottle. A loud 'pssst' when the bottle is opened. Look at the label to note it's bottle conditioned.

L: Golden colour with a tan edge, a light haze, and a number of streams of carbonation. Despite an ultra restrained pour, to retain the yeast in the bottle, the white head reaches four fingers and escapes over the side of the pint glass. A good half-finger remains to the bottom of the glass leaving sheets of lacing on the way down.

S: The nose is restrained to the point it's not really there. Which is a pity.

T: Sweet malts up-front with a long, bitter finish from the dry hopping. Not as disappointing as the smell, but the taste is also mysteriously unsatisfying. It just doesn't really go anywhere.

F: Medium to light body with a tang from carbonation and bitterness. Leaves a light layer on the tongue. Slightly gassy.

O: Looks fantastic. But then it just fails to deliver. Nothing unpleasant, just underwhelming.
