Keg at Mash Paddle, Enid Street, 19/12/2025.
Moderately hazed reddish amber topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is biscuit malts, caramel, grains, dried fruit rinds.
Taste comprises caramel, straw, sultanas, dull fruit esters.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with modest hop bitterness.
Okay malt forward affair but lacks hop presence and a good few marks off the standard set by other red IPA's in the UK this year!
