Bottle at home in London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a frothy off-white head that settles into a cream. Lots of bread in the nose, moderate oxidation, caramel, ripe orange, crackers. Medium sweet flavor with rich marmalade, toffee, more orange, sugary white bread, light pine needle bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation; a little chewy. Gooey and sticky-sweet on the finish, with more ripe citrus fruits, hearty pale bread, mellow piney bitterness, some creamy toffee undertones. Interesting stuff, really. Not bad at all.

Two tasting cups while on the RB Black Country bus trip on 6th July 2013. Golden to copper look to it: white crown on top. Aroma was fruity with a citrus backbone, some semi-sweet maltiness in the mix also. The taste was also a mixed bag: fruity, floral hop notes vieing with caramel malt sweetness all giving way to a dry, bitter finish. More like a strong Bitter than an IPA to me.

Bottle split at Cotteridge on the Black Country Bus Bash, thanks initially to Amy from the brewery for this one - 06/07/13. Clear golden with a thin white head. Nose is fruits, hops, light sugar, toasty malt, light caramel. Taste comprises light hop notes, fruits, sugar, hint of caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff but not an IPA in the RB way of classifying, not sure where I’d put it but nowhere near enough hops for a typical IPA.
