What Our Editors Thought
“Toasty bread, light melon, and soft stone fruit in the nose. The sip is bready with a distinct toothy malt, but soft with an earthy bitterness that swoops in for the finish. Bright and defined despite the malt heft.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Toasty malt, candied esters, and a delicate hop aroma assert a decidedly British flair. The bitterness provides good grounding for the otherwise expansive and endearing malt character.”
What the Brewers Say
“Always malty, never bitter. A smooth mid palate with ribbons of caramel, English toffee, toasted oak.”
