Tap at BeerGeek Bar with Gurthnar. Guess the Autumn 2025 version doesn't have specified hops, so rating it here. And... ah, Autumn 2025, so won't be the freshest now. Anyway, hazy dark red-amber body, off-white head. Herbal, citric aroma, mainly tangerine. Smooth, dryish taste, rye, light chocolate touches, orange, ending lightly bitter. Still quite good!

Deep red with a tan head. Malty, spicy rye, pink and citrus, toasted bread. Medium bodied. A bit of a bitter bite with a touch of roasted malt and hops. Really nice.

On tap at Small Bar, pours a cloudy dark rusted red with a small beige head. Aroma is fragrant, with lots of spicy rye, big resinous hops, and slight toasted caramel… maybe traces of diacetyl? Flavour seems more or less on point, with lots of spicy rye, resinous hops, earthy hops, and dry toasted bready malt. Very rye-dominant but it's well-situated and the hops are potent. Good stuff even if a tad harsh.

Keg at Rwd Hand, Dalston. 7%. Aroma is sweet and spicy. Fruit and rye. Cloudy-opaque dark amber. Creamy off-white head. Sweet umami rye... qas going to say 'bomb' but it's just way too smooth. Bitter close. Light. Thin but slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. The smooth bomb.
