It pours a very impressive copper colour, but unfortunately that's probably the highlight for me. The label talks about three distinct hop varieties, and it certainly has that feel - different flavours that don't quite match. It has aromas of caramel, lemon, spice, raisins, grass and boiled lollies. There are some nice toast and caramel notes in the mouth, but they're overpowered by a fairly bland bittering hop. Not enough body or length. In spite of everything I've written, I did warm up to this strange combo as it went on.

(On tap)Clear coppery brown with tiny head. Subtle pleasant aroma. Light body with somewhat fizzy carbonation. Nice taste with good balance. Hops drive the taste in a restrained way. There’s good citrus fruity notes at the start and some gentle bitterness in the finish. This is balanced with some gentle caramel notes. Very drinkable.

Can. Clear amber with a modest off white head. Slightly tired aroma of bread, dried peach, spices. Lightish bodied, very much in best bitter territory. A little fizzy. Not all that sweet with firm bitterness. Some citrus as well as spices. A little roasted note?
