A new hoppy red(ish) ale, a little nuttiness from the malt, and then plenty of fruit and berry flavours and aromas from the Endeavour, Fusion, Bramling Cross, UK Chinook and Epic hops.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 24 Nov 2017) Hazy reddish amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with caramel, crisp-bread, toast and orange peel. Malty, fruity taste with notes of toast, orange peel, caramel and a balanced earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Tasty and refreshing bitter. Quite nice.

Craft Islington. Bottleshare. Thanks to Dan. Cloudy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry and with decent fine carbonation. Thin dry malts, light creamy sweetness. Tangy tea! Citric peel bitterness. Ripe orange and grapefruit. Dry finish. Hmmm.

Bottle at Craft Islington Share - thanks to Mr Osprey. It pours hazy amber with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, musty, resin, wood, damp leaves and earth. The taste is dry, bitter, resin, spice, leather, wood, peppery spice, tannin and tea leaves with a drying, sort of grainy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty underwhelming stuff.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Osprey. Pours murky like dishwater. Scattered aroma, some old citrus fruits, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with bitter flinty minerality, grass, plastic. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Astringent finish, with more grass and plastic, pale grains. Not the best.
