From 330 ml bottle. Pours a very hazy ruddy brown with a small but tightly packed off-White head and visible floaties. Aromas of fresh plums, biscuits and flowers.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 maneliquor (3479) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - NOV 16, 2014
Bottle from Mane Liquor. I wasnt expecting a great deal with this one as sales have not been as good as the rest of the Nail series so far and amber ales dont usually do a great deal for me. In saying that, I was pleasantly surprised by this. A good, grassy hop focus is backed by sweet toffee and biscuit. Its mildly herbal. It all works nicely and is rather balanced. Solid drop
