◎ Appearance

Amber in colour with good clarity and a stable, creamy head that leaves consistent lacing down the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual presence rather than aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with nutty and malty character, with subtle caramel notes rising beneath. English hop varieties contribute a gentle herbal and slightly earthy backdrop without dominating, allowing the Maris Otter malt to remain the aromatic anchor.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and rich, with pronounced nuttiness and malt sweetness building across the mid-palate. A moderate bitterness emerges gradually, balancing the sweetness without harshness, while subtle caramel undertones add depth throughout the drink.

◑ Finish

A long, bitter-sweet finish develops with lingering malt and nut character alongside a gentle hop bite. The aftertaste remains clean and dry, fading slowly without astringency.
