A richly textured sipping beer with expressive fruity and hoppy notes. Light amber with a golden/orange tint and some haze, topped with a tight white head that clings to the side of the glass. Its like inhaling Christmas cake mix; a big, fruity aroma with orange, banana, toffee, candied peel, sherry and dried fruit. Half of the grain bill is wheat, so theres a bready-honey sweetness thats balanced by a firm hop bitterness from English First Gold and Bramling Cross hops. Orange peel and boiled sweets mingle and theres a sherry-like finish in which tannins, resin, citrus fruits and clean light alcohol notes linger long. Amazing with cheese. This is a beer that balances an alcoholic exterior with a sweet viscous interior.
