Brewed with Vienna and Cara malts and a blend of noble and modern hop varieties (Tettnang and Huell Melon) this is a rich, smooth and powerful lager; deep amber in colour with a copper-red hue.
Shortbread biscuit aromas with soft honey and delicate fruit notes give way to sweet malt on the palate; smooth and rounded with moderate bitterness and a deliciously clean finish. Ideally suited to well matured meats and cheeses.

Blind tasted excl brewer, name, ABV%
L- Mid red-brown, pours with moderate haze and a small short-lived foam cap, soon to a ring + minor patch (that does hold well tho)
S- Seems very mild though this one has been well chilled.
T- Quite dry, brief fruity note (possibly apple?) and into a hoppy finish. Feels a bit light on the palate.... I think it might be better not to put too hard a chill on this one, it likely opens up as it warms a touch.
F- Pretty bright, hops come before malts, decent CO2 in the mouth. The 5.2% really doesn't show at all.
O- Drinkable but I'd have liked to see some further distinctive character, a reason to buy it again.
Bought from Trembling Madness, York for home-delv.
Now review+rating^ are done I'll check the can for clues --- Elegant understated labelling...
