Bottle from the brewery. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee caramel, light tropical fruit hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a malty, juicy sweet citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

There’s a lovely malty, doughy aroma to this, followed by some subtle tropical fruit and finished off with the slightest hint of lemon zest. On the tongue, there’s honey and a slight taste of chocolate. The finish is lemon and mint with a burnt toast taste, but that’s a better mix than you’d think. A nice, full-bodied ale.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits as well as a light note of sugar, leading to a bitter finish. A bit odd.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild fruity and hoppy. Mild citrusy hoppy and slight grapefruity. Grassy and dry into a smooth finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of bluebetty. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Fruity, nutty and caramellish aroma - a wee phenollic touch. Medium body, sweeet toffee, caramel and nuts. A little licorice in the finish, very subdued hops. 021110

In bottle. I had higher expectations of this one. Didn’t have the bitterness or hoppy wallop I’d expected.

[4/10] Tap at brewery. Dirtyish copper with a thick cream head. Aroma of flowers, grass and a little citrus with deep malts behind. Taste is layered dark malty sweetness with firm bitterness. Finish has volatile aromatic bitterness and some alcohol. I would have thought this an English Strong Ale without the benefit of the list at the bar - it’s full of robust flavours and feels boozier than 6%. This is a hoppy beer, but as ever with Red Hill they don’t get silly with the hops: the malt side is plenty big enough to handle the aromatics and the bitterness. [rerate: leaving score unchanged, just a bottle note] Bottle. Clear copper, nicely-lacing light beige head. Aroma of grass and caramel. Nice complex malt sweetness with decent balancing bitterness. Good, but a lot less vibrant than on tap. Cask at Red Hill. Swan neck and sparkler. Certainly looked great and had a creamy mouthfeel, but the hops popped rather less.

Pour quite a dark amber/earthy copper, with a big, long-lasting head.Aroma contain lots of fruity hops (classic citrus notes with some tropical hints) and a fair bit of resin and pine. Lots of clean sweet malt underneath and a hint of diacetyl brings you back to English territory.Flavours are a mix of sweet caramel malt, earthy and spicy hops and a mild hoppy bitterness that lingers all around the mouth.Slightly too much carbonation.Great aroma, but there’s some off-putting characteristic in the lingering bitterness that detracts from the overall experience.
