500 ml can. Hazy amber orange pour. Creamy beige head is substantial. Earthy, toasted malt aroma hints at blood orange, dried apricot and red grapefruit. Very hoppy to the point of becoming astringent. Some resiny pine in the dank finish. Not what I was expecting.

Quite European. Loads of heavy caramel malt notes backed up by candied apples and wheat bread, followed by mild notes of orange marmalade, yeast, and slight floral hoppiness. Pretty damn strong for a pale ale; RB has it listed as an IPA, and it does make for about as classical a representation of that style as available these days. Decent, but odd.

Bottle. Deep golden color. Citrus, ripe mango and lychee in the aroma. Very fruity, grassy hopbitter flavor. Almost woody and chewy. Slightly herbal. Quite likeable.
