Aroma is melon, tropic fruit, lychee, honey. Taste is lots of citric sourness with resiny bitterness. Long bitter finish with lively carbonation.

Tap at Braustelle. Murky, reddish brown colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Rather unspecific and expressionless, fruity hoppy aroma and taste. ???

Keg at GBBF, 2015. Nose is oak, butter, yogurt, lemon. Hmm, must either be strangely oak aged or else this uses Sorachi Ace. Cloudy brown, rather ugly. Taste like big sorachi. Ok.

Keg at GBBF 2015. It pours hazy deep red with a decent off - white head. The nose is bitter - sweet, toasty, jammy fruits, red berry, caramel, Bakewell tart and Victoria sponge cake. The taste is pretty bitter, peppery spice, jammy fruits, red grapefruit, Victoria sponge cake, bready malt base, biscuit and toasty grass with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent.
