An extremely refreshing celebration ale, made using three different hop varieties, combined with the best “Maris Otter & Crystal” malts to create a colour reminiscent of a Galloway sunset, with a rich full bodied flavour that balances the caramel undertones.

Really pleased to see three different bottles from this brewery at a party (4th Aug 2012): talked to the host and ensured I got all three to try. This was the first: best before 14 July 2012, so just out of date, like the other two. Anyway it was poured into a glass tankard. Light to mid-amber look to it, head of white bubbles, stayed and gave some impressive lacing, so conditioning was good. Bread/biscuity malt aroma, lightly baked, no burnt or heavy maltiness here, or in the taste. Semi-sweet feel to the taste, caramel for sure with that malty molasses taste some brews now seem to have. I’ve a sweet tooth, so I really enjoyed this as my starter for the evening.
