Bottle. Amber colour with a mediumsized off-white head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is tropical fruits, some toasted and mild berry tones along with some mild toffee tones. Flavour is quite similar to the aroma, but also has a mild honey and some herbal tones to it.

Keg at Andrew Usher’s. Clear amber body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of pine, honey and strawberry. Flavour is hoppy and dry - notes of caramel, honeydew melon and lime. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. I’m glad this wasn’t as sweet as I was expecting.

On tap at the Grosvenor, Hanwell 13/5/2015. Hazy gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Grassy hops, some tangerine fruit, floral honey notes, ending up with a decent, dry, finish. Very good.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Canterbury and drunk at home. Hazy amber dark, lasting thick cream head. PNW hoppy aroma. Some sweetness in the mouth. Some sherbert to the hops. Finish has honey and some hops and some bitterness. A fruity honeyness I would say. Tasty and I rather liked it in a sweet red ale honey way.

500ml bottle. Clear amber colour with average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Slightly piney and citrusy hoppy aroma, a touch of grapefruit, cautious hints of honey. candied fruit, toffee. Taste is moderately sweet, notes of toffee, a bitter (hoppy) touch. Interesting honey-to-toffee-transformation, in the process slightly bothersome bitter note.

Many thanks to andrew_drinks for that bottle. Looks really good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Wonderful hoppy aroma. Starts fine hoppy, modest sweet, more and more spicy notes. Light dry-woody background. Well balanced dry hoppy finish. A good one!
