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

Bottled 330ml (Saveur Biere)
Dark amber color, small steady beige head, some lace. Resin, fruits, pine, licorice, sweetish caramel in the nose. Medium-bodied. Oily palate. Front has caramalt, then nice piney-resiny bitterness. Long lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Excellent robust and hoppy amber ale with good drinkability.

A reddish brown, some small particles in the glass, a head is small and beige. Aroma has caramel malts, grapefruits, some pine, quite fresh. Taste has caramel, wood, some pine, balancing bitterness. Medium bodied, low carbonation, quite smooth. Strongly caramelly but not too sweet due to bitterness. Good beer.

33cl bottle. Semi-hazy ruby-amber pour with a medium height beige head. Smells of citrus hops, caramel and pine resin. Tastes pretty much the same way it smells, a good amount of bitterness balanced by malty sweetness.

Tap at Bow Bar, Edinburgh. Clear ruby amber colour, foam off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of caramel & fruity hop. Taste is an intial hit of roast malt with coffee notes then tropical fruit citrusy hoppyness. Smoouth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter cleanish finish. Very drinkable.

Half pint from the cask menu at The Hanging Bat. Unclear, mid-brown coloured body. Diminishing beige head. Dotted spots to the glass. Malt-fruity aroma, citrus and caramel. Flavours of grapefruits, wheat and caramel sweetness leading to a plain, dry bitter ending. Medium bodied. Satisfying (Edinburgh 07.08.2013).
