Inscrutably hazy gold in colour and bewilderingly full-flavoured from Aussie sourced Vic. Secret and Enigma hops.

This new unfiltered IPA teases answers down and across your taste buds with aromas of peach and raspberry and a slight minty note.

Tastes of fresh raspberries and summer pudding with an underlying bitterness to balance the sweetness.

All on a perplexing light caramel malt base.

Gravicask, half pint, shared with Finn at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2023. Almost clear golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Peachy aromas, promising. Quite similar taste of peaches, and an impact of berry-fruit. Rounded mid-dry fruity tail. Just alright. (St Albans, 27.09.2023).

Shared 440ml can in Skipton on 19th November 2021. Hazed golden yellow body, white head. Fruity aroma with citrus notes to the fore, taste also citrussy in nature. Plenty of beers like this around, very 'samey'.
