The wascally wabbit reappears. Casks appearing at the Epping Ongar Beer Festival, and The British Grenadier in Colchester. 6% this time around as it’s headed to a beer fest, so doesn’t need any of that ‘session beer’ abv bollox. It’s a Citra and Amarillo hopped and dry-hopped black IPA.

Cask in KEGS. Opaque black - brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, dry and with decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts bring a little dark chocolate. Tangy dark fruits and piney hop. Light dry finish. Smooth and drinkable but a bit dry.
