Pours with a medium amber body, foamy head sits a top, some retention.
Smell, grassy hints, earthy aromas, some hops present.
Tasts, dry and grassy, quite fresh tasting, malt presence in the background, slight hint of farmyard on the finish and towards to the end of the glass.
A pretty good little session beer.
