Can split at L6, thanks to Fergus, 19/12/19. Hazed golden amber with a decent off white head. Nose is sweet malts, citric zest, candied orange peel, fruit loaf. Taste comprises caramel malts, bitter orange , citric tinged straw, light breads, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced earthy hop bitterness. Solid for the sub genre of IPA.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber/ruby body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee and earth. Flavour of pomegranate, burnt caramel and apple. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Enjoyable.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber to red. Nice. Big fluffy off white head. Nose - combination of grapefruit and the rye spice. Taste - resin and grapefruit. Again, rye spice. Bitter grapefruit returns. Palate - close to medium bodied. Balanced bitterness through the middle and finish. Overall - good beer. Complex, slightly challenging, but ultimately enjoyable.

440 ml. can. Canned on 18/9/2018. Nuts expected this one to be fresher given that I got it quite recently. Still BBF 05/2019. Canned Red Rye IPA from a self-appointed farmhouse brewery from Ireland that I have heard of before. Pours amber orange with uneven low tanned head. Nose is chewy caramel malt, sweeter, rye, low pine resin hop oil, age probably needs to be taken into account. Lively dry bit rustic indeed bitter harsh dark leaf tea oil with pine resin, caramel, some rustic bitter esoteric oil hop profile, interesting hop profile, unusual rustic malt, could use a bit more body, lingering etheric hop oil and almost faint pennies finish. Bit quirky and nice decent overall.
