This is a wonderful space, with a full two stories worth of height. Even so, back here in the pub, the light isn't quite enough to be sure of the color of the beer. It appears a dark amber. The beer itself is clear, but the color is murky (if that makes any sense). Just a bare skimming of foam on top.

Sweet scent with a caramel tang. As it warms, more citrus develops.

This is definitely wam and flat, with barely a prickle of animation on the tongue.

At first it seems a simple, syrupy malt with sour lemon hops. I was unimpressed at first, but as the beer warms, I too warm to it. More caramel unfolds in the malt, in the scent. A slight resin lingers in the finish.

A unassuming, companiable beer.
