Appearance: clear pale amber with a short loose foamy white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: floral, grapefruit, caramel, grassy. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter, very light spice. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, lingering bitter and slightly spicy finish. (3/5)
Starts off fairly hoppy for an English Bitter, with floral and citrusy aromas leading the way. The dry hopping settles down fairly rapidly, with a light sweet caramel and lingering grassy bitter remaining. Easy drinking. (12/20)
