What Our Editors Thought
“Toasty malt nose with very faint herbal hop notes. Soft, toasted malt with bready edges in the sip, alongside a prominent orange note that amplifies the allure. Rides the flavor line to the edge of subtlety and balance, without stepping over.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Great malt-forward aroma, with notes of caramel and toffee and an inviting toasted nuttiness, supported by warm toasted bread and faint molasses notes. Slight red apple rounds out the aromatics. Pomme fruit character dominates the palate, balanced by notes of roast and toast. Light hop bitterness keeps the malt sweetness in balance. A great malt finish with a balance of toast, coffee, caramel, toffee. Reminiscent of classic mild ales.”
What the Brewers Say
“A classic mild ale brewed with Maris Otter and Chevallier heritage malts and hopped with East Kent Goldings.”
