Slightly hazy gold colored body with a firm foamy white head. Nose is a sweet caramel and honey biscuit malt note, with some dried, subtle but pleasent hop notes. Lacks depth, but it has proper bitterness, sharpening during the drink, and a dryness as well. Overall seems pretty no-nonsense with a clean malt base and a clean hop bite.

RDF Tasting: From the Shirlington branch. Another cloudy yellow bitter. Woodly, almost whiskey like aroma. A milky light sweet hoppy bitter flavor. Good
