The beer has a rich ruby red colour from the use of crystal malts. There is a spicy citric hop aroma from the Amarillo hops. An initial sweetness leads to a very smooth easy drinking beer which belies its 4.7 ABV.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours mostly clear reddish-amber with a lingering, foam head. Caramel malts in the nose. Flavor is sweet and balanced, with more caramel, toasted bread, then followed by mild, earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. The finish is smooth with a pleasing caramel character. Very nice. (3.7)
Cask at the Metropolitan Bar, JDW - London. Pours deep russet, clear, with a frothy white head. The nose holds dry brown bread and subtle berries. Medium sweet with faint maple, pine, cat pee and brown bread. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Bready malts conclude with light dank citrus. Decent stuff (3.5)

Cask at GBBF 2009. Reddish copper, lasting beige head. Sweetish bitter, touch of strawberry fruit. Bit watery in mouth. Faint spritzey finish. Neither a bitter not nor a sweetish red ale. Falls between the 2 stools. OK, if not ery interesting.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Deep amber color, small beige head. Dry woody hoppy nose. Some nuts and caramel, light dry woody hops in the flavor. Sweetish and not very exciting "red".

Nitro beige head over a ruby-red body. Smell of grassy hops with notes of grapefruits. Modest flavour of dark fruits sustained by spices and earthy malts. Quite light in the aftertaste, but fine mouthfeel (half, well-kept cask ale at Thomas Rigbys in Liverpool, 04.05.2009).

(Cask at Crosse Keys JDW, London City, 16 Apr 2009) Chestnut colour with ruby hints. Foamy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of crystal malts and wild berries (raspberries, cowberries). Malty, fruity taste with wild berries and a nice, tangy, citrussy bittermess in a fairly dry finish. Nice one.
