"Pours a deep, vivid ruby with abundant foam. The aroma has a moreish biscuity quality, yeasty esters and a hint of caramel/toffee. On the palate is has a subtle but refined balance between malt and yeast with a nice drying bitterness. The finish is light and hoppy with hints of coconut."

"The hop aroma here is a little light, but the bitterness is certainly present on the palate. Earthy and a little bit funky. Good - it could even be a little more assertive. Malty, chocolate, and some spicy hop notes on the palate. "
