Great Western Classic
Held cold through a long conditioning period, which shows in how little rough edge the beer carries. It pours clear pale gold and smells of light bread dough with a trace of corn sweetness, the hops staying almost silent. The palate is soft and rounded rather than crisp, leaning on malt, with a gentle bitterness that arrives only at the end. The close is short, clean and faintly sweet.
