Dark copper in colour, head dissapears with a little lacing.
Can't quite pick the nose-herbal and earthy.
Carbonation is medium. Malts up front- a little sweet (toffee) which I like- a bit of bitterness pops up. My palate waits for the the fruity/citrus flavours to burst out but they don't make it- just weaker variations of malt and leafyness.
It grew on me as it went but just lacked the fruit of the style.
