Can from Drinkmonger. Hazy amber body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of stewed tea and rusted metal. Flavour of earth and a bitter finish. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Sharp and moreish. Pretty good.

Can direct from the brewery. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a decent off - white head. The aroma is toasty grains, cereal, nuttiness, jam, malt loaf, sponge cake, dried fruits, red berry, liquorice allsorts and varnished wood. The taste is crisp, quite dry upfront, bitter - sweet, biscuit, malt loaf, touch umami, liquorice allsorts, toasty grains, wood and leather with a shortish, drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not sure what quite makes this worthy of the title celebration ale... Tastes fine though, just lacking some wow factor.
