In this epic battle, the Blood of the Unicorn has been shed by the sword of the deadly assassin of the east. One sip of this aggressively hopped red ale clearly reveals what drives these, the greatest of, hop heads of lore. Is this the end of the mythical horned horse? Or will he rise like the phoenix to fight another day?

Can, 0.473l. Aroma of citrus, pine, passion fruit and caramel. Cloudy amber brown color with medium frothy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet resinous and caramelly, following is citrusy, grassy and earthy, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is heavy bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Fresh and tasty...
