2/10/2025. Tap at Three Wise Monkeys, Ipswich. Hazy orange gold with a small white head. Aroma is peachy, orange, sweet tropical fruits, passion fruit. Cordial elements. Quite sweet with a bitter tart edge. It’s okay.

Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Bland stuff. May be labelled as an Ambwr Ale but they mean amber twiggy bitter.

Double Header matches are common in the MLB. Quite a common New World IPA taste here with strength slightly more dominant than its tropical fruitiness, which is very much on the sticky-sweet side in this brew. Not a bad effort from a brewer that usually churns out regulars beers en-mass for its pub estate. Hazy golden appearance.
