Aroma is quite odd, with a scent of frozen green peas, sweet corn, some caramel, and a bit of alcohol. The flavor was better and possessed some peanut brittle, caramel, salt, which switched to an earthy and lightly bitter finish. Mouthfeel was medium.

Clear ruby-amber with a very small head. Dry, slightly boozy aroma, dry cedar, sweet citrus malt, a bit of cocoa bitterness. Taste of tart fruit, green olives, dry pine resin, baker’s chocolate and marigold. Average body, quite astringent and well carbonated - nice long bitter finish. Very good, could be maltier.
