Can thanks to my bro. It pours lightly hazy orangey - brown with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, woody, leafy hops, grass, tangy orange marmalade, brown bread, hint of mint and a touch of almond biscotti. The taste is drying, bitter, toothy, leafy hops, dry grass, spicy, woody, leather, brown bread, touch of tannin, touch if orange marmalade brown bread sandwiches and rivita with a drying finish. Average body and fine+ carbonation. Has a bit more depth than the standard bitter.

Can. Beer Ritz. Light to medium haze, on a pale amber. Fine and messy white head sticks to the glass. Nose has fruity, nutty grain. Hint of rich honey. Some spicy hop. Touch of ripe citrus. Background yeasty notes are bready and fruity. Smells great. Taste is pretty bitter and a little spicy. Modicum of biscuit sweetness. Light to medium body. Fine carbonation. Robust bitterness to finish. Reminds the missus of Whim Hartington IPA drawn from the barrel in the cellar at the Barley Mow at Kirk Ireton. Which is high praise indeed.
