Limited edition ruby ale, released to celebrate the brand new brewery. It’s like David’s Not So Bitter, but bigger in flavour, and a bit bitterer. It’s also stronger, at 6.3% ABV instead of 4.4% but is still smooth and malty.

Bottle from Alesela. It pours hazy deep red - brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is rich, wood, fruit cake, spicy, fruit cake, sticky, meaty, candied peel and toffee. The taste is bitter, wood, varnish, resin, drying, leather, bit of toffee, fruit cake, grapefruit rind and spice with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent boosty esb.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - a gorgeous copper, amber autumnal. The heid is fluffy. Perfect. Nose - red fruits and caramel. Some honeycomb. Taste - red fruits and honeycomb. Lovely caramel biscuit undertone. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - lovely ESB.
