Last, but by no means least, beer of the case swap for me.

Poors a crystal-clear rich gold, with a pillowy white head which sticks around. Excellent looking beer.

Nose is hops - citrus with a little stonefruit. Smells awesome.

Palate is a good balance of juicy sweet malt with clean bitterness. Finishes very dry, with just a hint of astringency as I get further down the glass.

An excellent pseudo-lager which satisfies this ale-drinker! Well done sir, well done indeed! Good to finish the case swap on a high note!
