Can from The Made Inn Ashford and drunk at home. Dark red brown colour lasting beige head. American red flavour. Decent sweet malts. Then some lime on the hops on the end. it is a style I like. a bit austere on the finish maybe. Quite a lot of sediment. Mind you the sediment makes it a little thicker. I thought decent enough. some red berry a little hedgerow

Pint bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Kings Parade. Murky reddish mud-brown. The beige head dissipates quickly. Gooey resin, pine needles, gooseberry, papaya, a note of oak all combine in an absolutely ambrosial aroma. Bitter hoppy taste with redcurrants and fruit caramels. Long, long bittersweet finish with more resinous hops dancing on the aftertaste. Top notch.

568ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A murky pale chestnut, dish watery looking, pour with a billowing cream coloured head; any disappointment in the looks are immediately dispelled by taste though; it has a full grainy body, with caramel and a touch of red fruit; then a dry smooth creamy caramel tail with a resinous bitterness that cuts through the sweetness nicely; the aroma is of yeasty, fruity caramel. A pleasantly drinkable amber ale.
