Slightly spicy with liquorice and grapefruit notes on the tongue. It is a well-balanced and full bodied IPA with a long dry finish and a distinctive red hue.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Clear amber beer, no head. Palate is smooth with modest fine carbonation. Light tangy toffee in the malts. Tangy dried fruits, some zip. More light toffee in the light finish and also some mild peel. Not bad but not very IPA like.
