Half of gravity. Headlined as a red IPA. This was ok, but there was a sweetness going on here that I really didn't dig. Wasn't a floor pour, but not the greatest.

Cask at Cambridge Winter Beer Festival, Friday 20th January 2017 in company of FatPhil and Anna Pours amber in colour, small off white head. There is a good interplay between the malt and hops, a touch of caramel, fruit, hops are slapped down a little. Quite pleasant. A6 A3 T7 P3 14 3.3

Gravity cask at Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2017. Russet brown, mostly clear, with a small tightish off-white head. Lots of visible natural carbonation. Caramel and floral hop aroma with bergamot standing out. Biscuity ginger nuts. Sweet fruity (ripe cherry) taste with notes of white chocolate. Bitterness in the latter half of the sip. Long balanced finish. More gingerbread in the aftertaste. Nice carbonation for cask. A surprisingly complex bitter.
