Can. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness, touch of caramel. Ahtanum presenting here as skunky with pretty ripe tangerine and mandarin. Mild peel bitterness into a cooling pine. Light finish leaves a mild peel bitter linger. Yeah, not a bad single hop showcase but this hop can be brighter and this beer could be a tad cleaner.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky orange with a foamy yellow-white head. Nose - passionfruit and then orange zest and tangy sour mango. Taste - sour mango and orange, not much on the passionfruit side. Palate - medium bodied, tart middle and finish. Overall - quite good.

500ml bottle with a classy yellow wax seal from Villeneuve Wines in Peebles - deep opaque black oily Lyle's treacle body, tan head. Too much in the nose to note, liquorice, fruits, boozy wood, wine, blackcurrant jam, cigar smoke, leather, all very hypnotic. Taste is all of the above, massive oily mouthfeel, so full of flavour, boozy burn at the back. Abandoned 2/3 of the way through when my legs gave way and I face planted the living room door. Recommended.4.4/5.0.

Light pineapple, but flavour here is all but absent. Lots of tin. Dark copper pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Can.

Bottle with crazy thick orange wax. It pours opaque, motor oil black with a small, dissipating deep brown bread. The aroma is rich roasted malt, dark and decadent, umami, liquorice, bourbon soaked oak, vinous, red wine, jammy berry, bramble, blackcurrant, cherry and chocolate. The taste is slick, oily, thick, rich, chewy, decadent, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, warming spice, warming boozey slap, slick, oily, loads of dark fruits and berries, cherry, bramble, blueberry, fruit compote, gateaux, robust red wine vibes, liquorice, umami, jammy and touch of tannin with a warming finish. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick, oily mouth feel. A monster of a beer that blurs the boundaries with red wine.
