On tap at Beermongers. Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium white head. The aroma is super sweet like passion-fruit or mangoes. The flavor is just huge watermelon, I guess some caramel, light bitterness, oranges, a big dose of super sweet late boil, but it meets with the sweetness of the malt to make it way too sweet.

On firkin at Bailey's, pours a cloudy opaque dirty orangey brown with a medium bubbly off-white head. Aroma brings out dank earthy hops, English malts and caramel. Flavour is over-malted, with notes of caramel, English malts, earthy hops, and residual sugars. Not very well-balanced - this is way too sweet for the style. And despite the nice mouthfeel from the firkin, it's not easy drinking. Becomes more and more undrinkable with each sip. Couldn't finish my glass.
