A ruby red ale, malty sweetness aroma with a full rich body. The malts drive the taste without it becoming too fruit like, with pine aromas and taste from the hops. A pleasant after taste with a slightly bittersweet finish.

Cask at Dean Swift. It pours ruby-amber, with a bubbly off-white head. This rapidly turns completely flat. The nose is smoke, burnt plastic, spice and wood. The taste is smoke, wood, leather, dust, gingerbread, spice, plastic and burnt brown bread. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. Tastes infected, I can’t imagine they wanted smoke in this. Not good.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours amber-gold with a filmy, white head. Some piney hops on the nose with a bit of citrus and toast. Medium sweet flavor with grapefruit bitters, light resin and pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fine, slightly oily finish, resinous, more pine and light earth, some leaves and toasty malts. A decent beer. Good start for this new brewery.
