Swan Draught

◎ Appearance

Pours a clear, pale gold with excellent transparency. A short white head forms at the pour, with modest but stable retention and light lacing around the glass. The carbonation is brisk and visible throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh grain and bread crust character, supported by a subtle line of toast and honey sweetness. A resinous, faintly earthy hop presence emerges behind the malt, adding complexity without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with bready maltiness establishing the core. Mid-palate shows a thin, toasty undercurrent and honeyed sweetness balanced against a dry, resinous bitterness that builds steadily. The cane sugar adjunct contributes to a lean, stripped-back body without muddiness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and clean, with the resinous bitterness holding firm into a crisp, lingering aftertaste. No sweetness remains; the close is refreshingly austere.
