Not a strong aroma, the malt being the most evident with a hoppy crispness. Flavour is mainly malty, with a good level of bitterness (with hints of grapefruit). A very inoffensive drop, something I would happily regularly drink. harrisoni (6802), Ashford, Kent, England

One of my favourite session beers. Good resiny hops with biscuity malts and some fruit leads to a dry bitter hop finish that makes you want to take another sip. Good beer CampbellWilson (533), Scotland
