From a 330ml bottle on 4/6/2017 (shared by Butz, with thanks). Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a big foamy head. Has quite a pronounced aroma of caramel and fruity hops. The flavour is dominated by sweet stone fruit (apricot, peach), with a decent balancing hop finish. Not much malt to speak of - more a fruity IPA. Fulliish body, with moderate carbonation. Not really US style, but quite solid.

Bottle. Reddish amber with an inch of near white head. Aroma is of sticky resinous hops with caramel. Powerful pine needles and spicy logs, mango, kumquats. I’m not wild about the prospect of the caramel but without it the hops would be a chainsaw. And that’s pretty much the taste too - the caramel is not a lot more than is needed to stop it from being harsh. Reminds me a bit of the old Mountain Goat IPA when it was fresh. Good but a bit sweet and "loud" for me.

(On tap) Clear deep amber brown with good head. Nice hoppy aroma. Medium body with nice carbonation. Good taste with great balance of hoppy bitterness, rich caramel malt and alcohol. A very good beer.
