Nice light copper colour, fluffy white head that disappears to edge of the glass bubbles.
Subtle hints of malt and citrus zest/peel. Yeast present too. A little tea as well.
The tea makes it way to the palate- quite mild/medium flavour wise- it's all about the malt and hops-tho, i must say i get a bit of pineapple.

Pleasant, easy to drink calming ale, not at all confronting or big and powerful like it's American counterpart. A nice quaffing ale.
I like this, it's intriguing in it's mildness and quite session able. Nice bottle too!
