(Can) Pours clear amber with small white head. Subtle pleasant aroma with notes of fruit, pine and toffee. Medium body, smooth with great carbonation. Unusual and enjoyable taste with some unusual hops prominent. There’s a good bitter finish. There’s some interesting complexity with notes of tea, stone fruit, toffee, herbs. Unusual and enjoyable.

Can. Amber with an off white head. Aroma of breadcrust, tenor register citrus, some earthy and honey notes. Cleaner and perhaps more focused than suggested by the aroma with firm bready malt under kumquat, grapefruit and a little resin oozing towards a firmly bitter finish. Fair enough.

Pint on tap at taphouse. Golden amber beer with thin white head. Slight haze, low carbonation. Distant nose of fruity hops. Some zinginess at first then there's an earthy dank bitterness. Some sharp grapefruit notes late on add to the complexity. Contemplative sipper.
