Light bronze. Fruity ( orange) and herbal (savoury) hop nose. Slightly sweet up front, middle has just a splash of English hops. So itโ€™s strange in construction but ok overall.

Cask at the gin winter ale festival. Clear red amber colour with a lasting loose off white head. Aroma is big resinous pine hops with hint of beech wood smoke. Some hedgerow berry in the nose as well. Flavour is berry hop with a touch of sweetness rounded out by German smoked malt. Medium palate with grassy dry finish. This is a really nice smoked IPA.
