Comment:
Probably the best Easter beer so far. Good balance between bitterness and sweetness. It also had a noticeable hoppy and malty character.

Fairly enjoyable but I suspect this isn't a great match with the Easter food. The bitterness isn't very intense but I got a feeling it would clash with the salty Easter food, specifically anything containing dill.

Total: 3,3/5
