Pours copper golden with a nice head and a bit of lacing

smell is quite nice: vanilla oakey notes with some pungent hazelnut malts

taste is just quite dull - not much body, too light of a mouthfeel etc., finish is slightly bitter, hints of dark bready malts.

drinkable, very nondescript best bitter.

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 4.2%. Some of the profits of the sale of this beer benefits the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Clear deep golden to amber colour, big white head. Very moderate aroma, stale water and dusty attic, a hint of honey and caramel comes through as the beer warms up. Flavour is moderately hoppy, hints of toffee and biscuits, fairly dry, some fruit in the finish. Nothing offensive in the flavour, this is an easy drinking session bitter, but definitely not a beer that stands out from the crowd. Unremarkable and relatively short aftertaste.
