Hazy rusty orange colour with thin head. It's a mild one with subtle floral hop notes and sweetish esters off the malt.

Can ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma combines rye with dark berries with caramel. Hazy dark amber. Thick foamy microbubbled off-white head. Tangy sour berries and citrus. Grainy metallic bitterness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Nice tangy stuff.

440ml can: BB 31st December 2022. Drank at home on 10th April 2022 after cutting my back lawn. More amber than red, slight haze to it's look, thin off-white head. Malty nose and taste, caramel and toffee like flavours and esters, semi-sweet, yet with a fairly hop bitter finish.
