It’s big, red and full of character. This assertive ruby ale is big in flavour, with hints of tropical fruit, sweet treacle and balances a bitter, hoppy finish.

50 cl bottle @ Sankt Hans Tasting, Ulfborg.
Aroma is odd and musty with baking stuff, toffee and candy. Flavour has diacetyl, butter, toffee and some grapefruity hops. Not that good, the hops are nice though.

500ml bottle: BBD Jan 16. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 6th Mar 15 during a Scottish tasting session I had with myself while chatting in a virtual bar thread on RateBeer. Nice colour, leaning towards terracotta, well it had a red hue to it’s brown anyway: the top a creamy coloured covering. Hedgerow berries and malty molasses in the nose: the taste follows the same lines, there is a mild bitter and drying finish but this is a malty brew foremost.

Many thanks to Sean. The beer starts malty, fresh. Slightly bitter with a watery background. Smooth, dry. Nice with hints of dry malt. Fresh, dry malty aftertaste. Long intense Ale-bitter aroma on the tongue. Nice one!

Cask, gravity at The Falcon, Whittlesey, Saturday 10th January 2015 on Whittlesey Straw Bear weekend (we stopped at Peterborough Central Travelodge) Reddy amber with filmy white head. Chewy toffee and caramel a little bitterness, ok. Actually lets not beat about the bush, its pretty drab and boring. A5 A3 T5 P3 Ov10 2.6
