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.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 26 May 2018) Dark reddish amber colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with caramel, toast and dark fruit. Malty taste with notes of caramel, crisp-bread, orange peel and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, spicy and refreshing. Nice one.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. A rather dull chestnut colour at first glance with a loose cream head, but when the sunlight hits the glass (as it did in the beer garden this evening) a bright reddish copper gleam appears; the aroma is full of red fruit with a hint of rye; the taste is fruity with a caramel sweetness at first, then becoming drier with a gentle bitterness and some woody resin towards the finish. A perfect pint for a beautiful spring evening.

Medium beige head. Clear brown body. Floral citric fruity aroma with dusty corn notes. Sweetish fruity lemsip taste with candy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish resiny floral aftertaste with spicy wooden citric notes. It’s not bad, but the overly artificial fruity flavours don’t work for me. (0.5l bottle, from odd bins, Edinburgh.)

Cask. Sheffield Tap. Clear bronze. Dense, thick, creamy, off white head. Lovely, resinous, fruity, spicy hop to this. Get the spicy rye. Taste is gently sweet, turning light bitter. Touch of pepper spice dryness. Body feels a little thin after all of that. Finishes short bitter. Light dry close.

Draught @ Tallinn Craft Beer Weekend 2015
Aroma has resin, some rye tones and fruits. Feels somewhat sweet. Flavour has minerals, sweet fruity tones, resin and fruity tones. This could be better with higher ABV; now this is a bit too watery. Not bad as-is anyway.
