On tap at Harts Pub.

Pours a burnished amber colour, with thin head of off-white lace. Slow bead trickle up the glass. Nice colour; otherwise OK.

Smells tangy and floral with nice citric notes, sherbet and pineapple plus an odd cocoa note behind it. Maybe a bit oaky and resiny at the back, but otherwise pleasant, light and fresh.

Tastes quite tangy. Lots of gooey caramel malt underlying, with slightly resiny and pithy hops coming through, giving grapefruit and gooseberry notes. Rich biscuity malt base is quite earthy and falls short, with tart hop acids lingering on the back. A bit too drying late, needs more malt to pad it all out. Nevertheless, tangy and pleasant for the most part.

Bit of carbonation texture but decent presence. Slightly drying at the back. Alright.

A bit earthy for an everyday drinking beer. Flavour is nice, but more lift would improve the session factor.
