We brewed this lovely pubber with British Golden Promise, dark crystal, and a solid portion of dark rye crystal, ooo-la-la. We hopped it entirely with U.K. Challenger and fermented it with our favourite London ale yeast. It pours a deep old copper color with a nice khaki head.

Undated can; drank 3/22/24 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque orange/brown appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge tan head; strong, frothy tree-rung lacing remained.
Fresh biscuit & mild banana notes in the nose.
Creamy, medium mouthfeel.
Fresh biscuit & faint banana flavors; some pleasant, dry acorn notes on the finish.
Simple, but so pleasurable to drink. I wish I'd bought a case.
