Is it an American Amber? Is it a Red IPA? Who really knows. An ambiguous blend of big toasty malts balanced out by carefully chosen spicey, resiny hops to give a beer packed with flavour. Biscuity, caramel notes with a touch of citrus and pine.

Malt: Golden Promise, Munich, Cara Amber, Amber
Hops: Chinook, Columbus, Centennial

Keg at Beer+Burger, Kings Cross. Fruity jammy aroma. Dark opaque brown. Foamy creamy light beige head. Light sour with umami core. Spicy and jammy. Light-medium bodied. Soft carbonation adds to the light soft body. Low key astringent finish. Nice chewy stuff.

Draught Huge cream-amber head over reddish darker amber beer with textbook lace. Superb fruity red berries & exotic fruit hops' nose, fresh orangepeel, red fruit. Bitter, hopoil, orangepeel, rootspices, caramel without the sweetness. Medium bodied, hopoilslick, medium carbonation. Excellent. More bitter and more fruity than a red ale usually is - only for the better.
