What started out as a little bit of fun quickly became the favourite of many die hard ale fans and has become permanent. Probably best described stylistically as a Californian IPA, this beer has all the rich malt and fruit flavours of a Barley Wine combined with the hoppy crispness of a Pale Ale. And as best said by one of its biggest fans, "Hoppiness = Happiness."

On tap @ Kick. Unclear orange body with a small off-white head. Lovely aroma of citric and tropical fruit with some resin, pine and malt. Flavor is quite fruity, sweet malty and rather bitter. Quite sweet and quite bitter, but manage to keep a fine balance. Nice body with a long lasting sweet and bitter aftertaste. A nice one from Moor.

660ml bottle [6.7% abv]. Slightly cloudy golden colour with average, thick, creamy, fully lasting, superbly lacing, white head. Citrusy hop aroma has notes of grapefruit, mango, peach, orange zest, a minimally piney touch. Taste is piney, resinous and fruity bitter hoppy, minimally sweaty caramel malty basis with a biscuit touch, decent notes of grapefruit, orange, mango. Wow! Somerset must be England’s California.

Hazy amber beer, little pale cream coloured head. Light crispy palate. Smooth hops here - light pine and grass with a little minty coolness. Light tangerine and subtle tropical fruits. Whisper of skunk. Soft and semi dry finish with a mild bitter linger. Brings to mind things like Pliny and Heady Topper. Lovely!

Tap at Animale, bottom of the barrel, apparently this is the awesome bit. Cloudy golden, amber big head. Nice fruity hop notes, tropical - Amarillo ? Light earthy minerally notes, a hint salt, great fruity hop profile. Fruitsalad finish. Nice

Draught. Muddy deep amber liquid with small white head. Aroma of mango, toffee, pine, marmalade, tangerine, biscuit, sweet alcohol and dried fruit. Taste is light sweet and medium to high bitter with notes of mango, toffee, candy, caramel and sweet alcohol. A bit husky grainy notes as well. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Quite malt driven, not really a favorite.
