A pale ale brewed with Rye malts and British Pilgrim and Bramling Cross hops. The unique character of Rye malts in this dark copper coloured ale are complimented by spicy, berry fruit hop flavours and lead to a clean dry, bitter finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2015. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white, head. Sweet, earthy malts, some vague earthiness and a moderately bitter finish. So so.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - deep golden amber with a decent head. Nose - canned mandarin. Taste - mostly toffee malt with a very light mandarin note at the back. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - the nose is better than the taste.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is softish and smooth. Modest fine carbonation. Smooth light malts with a little creamy sweetness and a trace of toffee. Sweet bubblegum ester. Dried fruits and a little apple on the back end. Light semi dry finish. Itβs okay.

Cask at the Monksβ Retreat (JDW), Reading. Copper coloured with a loose white head; the aroma has some rye and also berry fruit; full bodies, with a fruity taste that nicely balanced and not too sweet; then a crisp dry finish with some lingering red berries.

Deep nutty color with a finger thick off white head that ends up in a thin layer. Bready, fruity and herbal aroma. Medium body. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Soft to flat carbonation. Caramel, bready, herbal and fruity. To flat carbonation destroyed this one. Could have been quite ok.
