A complex malt bill that marries together different flavours and hues to produce a vibrant red colour and mighty body. 6 different malts are hopped with large amounts of Columbus and Mosaic to give a full, smooth mouthfeel with a slightly spicy finish.

Third, keg at Six Degrees North. Fawn-coloured head to an amber-reddish body. Good lacework on the glass. Malt-fruity nose of bread and citrus. Mixed taste of grapefruit and brown bread, some kind of spices to it as well. Bitter citrus shells to the finish. Pleasing (Aberdeen 19.04.2016).

Bottle shared at the Tropical Croydonia tasting. 01/07/2015. Many thanks to JackL. Reddy orange clear coloured pour with a loose off white head. Aroma is spicy tea bag, rye bread, farty, berry jam. Flavour is composed of earthy rye, spicy veg hop, rough assertive bitterness. Palate is semi-sweet, moderate carbonmation. Hard grainy. Boring.
