Bog Ore was a bye product of the smelting process, this is no bye product though although we did come across this great recipe by accident so the name sort of fits, five grain types with three very distinctive hop flavours.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear copper to amber color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, quite bitter and not a lot else. […] Lingering dry bitter finish. Meh, not great.

Cask at GBBF 2016 - Day 4. Pours totally clear copper with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds lightly toasted malts, nips of caramel, leather. Light sweet flavour with touches of leathery berries, earth and leaves, toasted grains, faint minerality. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with further toasty malts and leafy bitterness. A little dry and woody. Pretty OK bitter overall.
