440 ml can online from Clapton Craft. Pours murky deep brown with a ruby hue, beige foam. Aroma: rye, caramel, toffee, grass. Taste: light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter, big spicy rye character up front, caramel & toffee, grapefruit citrus, pine, earthy. Uber dry on the palate. Medium body with soft carbonation. Interesting one, I'd say the rye is too dominant for the style, for me. But I liked it anyway.

440ml can. Pours a deep dark red with a beige head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, mild rye spice, some piney resin. Taste is very malty up front, lots of caramel/toffee and a little bit of spicy rye, lovely hop bitterness coming through at the end, quite piney, resinous, grapefruit, slightly earthy. Medium bodied. Starts malty, finishes hoppy, overall a good balance I'd say. Really great RIPA.
