Thin bubbly beige head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Minimal malty aroma. Thick & cloying. Minimal carbonation. Malty tastes with dark berries, caramel & faintly hoppy on the aft. Very similar to a standard English IPA.

330ml bottle. Pours orange brown. Caramel, biscuit, strawberry, blackberry, black pepper, orange marmalade. Nice full body. Not usually a fan of more English style IPAs but the body and malt profile on this are hard to say no to. Nice.
