Bottle shared with sister Nellie on the train to the airport to fly to Rome. Pours mostly clear amber with a creamy tan head. Lots of pine in the nose with secondary notes of dry citrus and earth. Medium sweet flavor with sticky pine, juicy and ripe orange, light alcohol, toasty bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky finish, piney and resinous, with dirt, toast, dried berries and orange. Good beer.

Bottle from Sourced Market in St Pancras Station, London. Poured a hazy amber/ red colour with a medium off white head. Aroma of rye, orange peel, grass and spruce. Flavour is earthy and dry with grain and salted caramel notes. Pine and tropical fruits on the palate.

Bottle from sourced market, large sample. Opens with a very small ssh, hazy reddish color, short head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, cookie, biscuit, hint of grain. Lovely bitterness backed up by good malty body. Hops fit the malt bill, good balance, nice complexity. Good stuff. Im loving these rye ipas.

330ml bottle. Hazy dark amber colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Fruity, resinous, piney, and minimally herbal hoppy aroma, minimally bready, spicy, malty basis. Taste has a minimally spicy rye basis, hoppy overtones with a herbal and piney touch; soft palate. Nice.

Bottle from sourced market. Reddish colour with slight haze, persistent white head with big bubbles. Aroma is more malt forward than expected, but good. Veda bread and biscuit, some english yeast character. Hop is sticky, some metallic rusty penny. Finish is grapefruit. Really enjoyable beer.

33cl bottle from Sourced Market drunk at home. Hazy russet. Lasting beige head. I like rye beers. I like the fullness of the rye in mouth, the spiciness and normally the PNW hops on the end. This beer does all this. Could do with more hops in my opinion. Sweetish in mouth. Drinkable and spicy, but a little too sweet and needs more hops I think.

Bottle from Good Taste, Crystal Palace. It pours hazy deep amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is rye bread, wood, dried fruit, berry and toffee. The taste is wood, earth, spice, dark fruit, berry, dull toffee and varnish with a dry, rather bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting, but not overly drinkable due to the high bitterness.
