On tap at Heartbreaker. Hazy gold. Stone fruit nose but big piney taste. Pretty over the top and better for it. The sort of Rare Breed these guys should be making more of.

Bottle. I suspect trickery - or at the least, probing. Is it a "brut IPA" in disguise or "really" an IPL? But the hand of harsh reality's unglov'd and rather than working out whether it's too clever for its own good I'l just drink it. Slightly hazy amber with a large white head. Spectacular lacing. Floaty mandarin, grapefruit and tropical bubblegum aroma with some light chewed crackers behind. Some piny and herbal hints too. Very light bodied but somehow not watery - I guess some hints of resin fill things out a bit where it should feel empty. Fruity with citrus, light berries, less tropical fruit than expected, (erm) Norsca. Highish bitterness. Interesting and really good.

From a wax sealed 750ml bottle on 23/1/2019 (an Xmas present from my older brother and his family - with thanks). Pours a slightly murky amber with little head. The nose is pleasant enough - caramel, toffee and oak. And that's what you get on the sip. The big sweet, malty sipper with oodles of caramel, toffee, treacle and brown sugar, hints of dark and dried fruit, with a hint of whisky in the booziness, and a modest bitterness. The texture is syrupy and the carbonation softish. A rather pleasant dessert beer, if relatively straight forward. I probably wouldn't pay the near $50 bottle price to have again, but it's an enjoyable big, late night sipper.

(Bottle) Pours hazy amber with good white head. Nice aroma - pine, with citrus notes. Medium body with good fine carbonation. Hops provide most of the flavour with a bitterness that is present from the start and gently grows, but never becoming overwhelming. There’s some subtle caramel malt in the background. Very good.
