Bottle thanks to mar. Pours with a small white head over a golden body. Aroma of light British hops, bread, honey, and apple. Taste is the same, but very weak and watery. Fizzy and dry.

Mildly could orange, decent off-white head. Citrusy, peppery aroma Flavor is surprisingly bitter at first, some bready, biscuity malts in the background. The bitterness is surprisingly harsh and rough, in a good way. Nicely unrefined and a pretty good session ale.
