This new, warming red ale has toffee and raisin notes, imparted by generous quantities of crystal malt, combined with a dark fruit flavour and spicy hop notes.

Beer Number 23; at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 5 of 30 still untried plus both the two variations of the already tried in name. Glowing with an easy texture. Hopped light bitterness, goes down well enough without much fuss about the ale.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear russet colour lasting beige head. Decent red ale. Certainly has the malt backbone. Some dryness on the finish. Some spicy malt flavour. Decent

Hand pulled third of a pint in The Moon Under Water, (A Spoons in Hounslow) on 7th March 2025. Looked fine, red hue to the amber body, clean and clear, on top a beige crust. Thought this had a Rye like bitterness and didn't take to it, strange flavour and aroma, fruity but over spiced for my palate.
