On tap at Brick Lane Tap Room, pours a cloudy murky amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bitter resinous hops, bready malt, and some earthiness. Flavour is nicely bitter, with resinous hops, bready malt, biscuity notes, and solid piney bitterness. Bitter, crunchy and well-hopped, with just enough malt backbone. Very good.

Can at The Made Inn CoachWorks. Hazy dirty brown amber colour. Lasting cream head. Some pine resin on aroma. Some red malt. Solid malty ipa in the mouth. Good bitterness on the finish. It's fine but not quite as good as I was hoping for.

Panda at the holiday cottage in Honeybourne, thanks to Fergus, 08/09/22. Hazed amber with an off white cp that veers to a swirl ... not a looker ... kind of shit water meets Kidsgrove canal. Nose is blood orange, caramel malts, pine needle, biscuit, candied fruit rinds. Taste comprises candied orange peel, pine needle, brown bread, grass, grapefruit, caramel wafer, leafy notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced earthy hop bitterness. Solid for the style ... just an ugly child appearance wise!
