Taste comprises bitter tropical notes, orange pith, light perfume, touch of minerals. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok amber with an earthy ring.

Cask - Sweet caramel and earthy hops. Clear amber with a decent white head. Sweet caramel and a hit of piney hops with a long bitterness.

Cask at the Cock during RBESG. It pours clear deep amber with a small white head. The nose is earthy, varnish, piney resins, wood, mild spice and some citrus. The taste is bitter, pine, earth, resin, leather, varnish, light caramel, pepper and bitter citrus peel with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice bitter amber.
