A delicious, refreshing red ale. It brings together a range of 6 specialty malts and New World hops. This creates a characterful ale with a toffee, caramel and dark fruit palate, finishing with soft piney, resinous hop notes.

Bottle. Brownish beer with a very strong off white head. The aroma is yeasty with some roastedness, and the flavour is very dry and roasted with bags of bitterness. Overall a nice very bitter and dry beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Bacchanalia, Mill Road, Cambridge. Brownish red, hazy, like generic cherry cola. Caramel, resin and dried fruit dominate the heady aroma. Tastes even better than it smells. Sweet piney fruit hit is followed by bitter oily hop. Huge hop intensity in the long finish... bitter but never acrid. More pine in aftertaste. Damn this is good.

Bottle from a corner shop. Appearance - deep amber with a red hue. Decent head. Nose - burnt bread, a bit molasses. Taste - burnt again, some rye, Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy yetsslightly astringent finish. Overall - a bit gnarly but the challenge is somewhat rewarded.

Dark brown color with an off-white head with good retention. Aroma has notes of toasted malts, burnt sugar and fresh hops. Flavor is bittery with toasted hints, some orange peel notes are present as well. Bitterness in the final with a good presence on palate.

Keykeg at the Black Bulls Head at Open Woodgate, Derbyshire with dad, Pauline and Loz, Thursday 19th February 2015 Pours amber reddy brown colour good clarity but not too much of a head. Fruity and hoppy with a bitter and dryness throughout. A steady citrus vein and I rather like the dry edge to the beer. I was somewhat surprised to note that I hadn’t had this beer before, had three tonight. A7 A4 T8 P5 Ov14 3.8

Nice red amber color with a fine tan head. Ok lacing. Lovely aroma. Hoppy, toffee and mild raosted. Medium + body. Tad sweet and a fine balanced bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Toffee, bready, hoppy and fruity flavor. Lovely amber ale! Nice hop profile.
