Beautiful red colour, medium bodied ale. Fine bitterness and refreshing scent of citrus from hops. 2018 New York International Beer Competition GOLD AWARD.

Bottle from Hi Time. Pours very, very ruddy with a decent creamy beige head. Roast caramel aroma. Med body. Flavor is fruity! Fruity hop. It’s a bit sweet but there’s just about enough hop to cover that. Certainly a hoppier amber than many. There’s an interesting flavor in the background that’s burnt and herby. So this is a unique beer that is interesting and tasty. Not one of those dull, blah ambers.

Cask at the Tokyo Real Ale Festival. Pretty red, glowing color. Nicely hoppy aroma, very earthy, as is the amber malt and hop flavor. Nice caramel and good balance. Decent flavor, though not all that special. Can: Starts with a very nice American hop nose, with red fruits and gumballs. The flavor cannot keep up with the nose, though. Maybe better than from the hand pump!
