A Red Rye based beer, recklessly laced with American Hops during the boil and dry hopped after fermentation with more USA and NZ varieties. A real fruity character with a smooth bitterness, perfect to rock your senses to the edge.

0,5L bottle, BB 07.2014. Pours clear deep red-brown with small light tan head. The head stays for a long time. Aroma of pine, spices, grapefruit, rye is only very subtle hint in the background. Aroma isn’t very intense. Taste: intense sourness, caramel, pine, grapefruit. The finish is grapefruit bitterness with caramel and it lasts for some time. Lively carbonation. Overall: where is the rye? It’s more APA or even IPA, than anything else. Not a bad beer, just not what I expected.

Cask at the Blue Blazer, shared with Stuartyboy. Good lacing from a faint, off-white head. Mahogany coloured body. Blended aromas of leafy hops and dark malts. Malty taste, mid-sweet caramel leading to a malt-fruit hoppy ending. Fine bodied. Pleasant, well crafted brew (Edinburgh 09.08.2013)

Pours reddish brown with a big, lively white head. Aromas are citrus hops, white grape and light sugars. Good bitterness, sweet notes on the finish. Not picking up much rye, but a really good beer nevertheless.

Cask at the Cask, Pimlico - 20/11/12. Lightly hazed chestnut brown with reddish hues and a thin bubbly off white head. Nose is big pine, hops, caramel, some sugar and fruit tones. Taste is big and piney up front, hops, caramel malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter piney finish. Not many words for this one but it’s a more than decent drop!
