Taste:
  • On the palate, the ale offers a smooth malt character, balanced by restrained bitterness from the hops.
  • Prominent flavours of rich caramel and toasted biscuit are complemented by a hint of dark fruit, such as fig or raisin.
  • Light citrus notes and a touch of herbal hop bitterness provide a refreshing contrast, adding complexity to the taste profile.

Food Pairings:
