A sweet tasting red ale with a hint of spicy character and subtle hop bitterness.

Panda thanks to Grumbo: Poured an orange amber with a beige off white head. Aroma is spice, malts, biscuit, light hops, hints of fruit. Taste is rich malts, caramel, chewy, dark fruit, light earthiness. I very much enjoyed this one.

3/5/2026. Bottle at the ITFC Promotion Party (2026) beer share. Bought directly from the brewery. Pours okay. Aroma is jammy, plummy, berries, sweet malts, chalky notes. Sweet fruity taste. Foamy carbonation. Best so far from this brewery.

Bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a decent off white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, resin, wood, toffee, blood orange, marmalade and brown bread. The taste is dry upfront, bitter - sweet character, sappy wood, resin, leather, pithy, zesty, orange marmalade, leafy, slightly dusty, brown bread and a touch of tannin with a drying, zesty finale. Average body and moderate carbonation. A decent red by all accounts.
