What the brewers say

“Brewed with pale and wheat malts, Magnum and East Kent Golding hops.”

What our panel thought

“Fruity! Brown sugar nose. Sweet banana-bread (headed toward fruit cake) coated in more brown sugar flows through the mouth. Sugary sweet on the finish. Aggressive dessert-like treat with a touch of bitterness that fell into baking mishaps.”

What our editors thought

“Caramel orange in the nose, toothy and rustic despite the smooth malt polish. The sip is light, easy drinking, with higher key notes more bready than caramel and a light and simple herbal hop note that feels light while structuring.”
