Cask at The Great British Beer Festival 2017, Olympia, London. A red/brown/amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Sweet, orange, grapefruit, caramel on the nose. Tastes hoppy, tropical fruit, orange, grapefruit, caramel, slightly sweet. Delicious beer, I had quite a few of these at GBBF.

On tap at brewery. Very dark amber with small creamy head. Malt in spades, especially in the aroma. Hops kick in at first sip and linger for quite a while, pleasantly. ABV hides behind the hops, only evident by some gentle warmth deep in the gut.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2015. Dark red beer not much condition almost made me gag. Some red fruits. But not a good drinking beer. Hops yes but almost made me wretch.
