Can from BottleDog, Edinburgh. Attractive ruby body with a dense beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of honey, lemon, blackcurrant and Earl Grey tea. Flavour of syrup, roasted malt, plum and blood orange. Thin to medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Evil Twin brew well balanced, flavoursome beers - this is delicious. It reminded me of Ayinger Celebrator (a different beer style, I know).

Poured into a tall shaker showing cloudy yellow and a finger of white clean foam. The nose shows a lot of round, ripe and forward tropical fruit - mango, passion fruit, guava. The palate is moderately carbonated and medium bodied. Flavors of moderately intense tropical fruit throughout with a flat and robust IIPA bitterness at the finish.

Can from Beers of Europe. Brown with a beige head. Up front there’s a strong, pleasing whiff of piney grapefruitey US hops. On drinking there’s chocolate, oak, pine, red berries and grapefruit. Brings to mind a black IPA more than anything else. It’s got the right balance of sweet and bitter for me. However, the mouthfeel does let it down a little. It’s dry, and oddly powdery, as if the chocolate flavour has been obtained by adding instant hot chocolate powdery. It also feels a little too fizzy to suit the style and it definitely needs a bit more body. Whilst the flavours are great and well-balanced and it’s very drinkable, the relatively poor mouthfeel restricts it to merely being good. However, I feel it could be superb on cask.

Can@Simon The Tanner, London - dark dark reddish brown with off white head. Dark hoppy and fruity aroma and taste, some caramel, fudge, dank dark piney hopey action, some nice herbal piney spicy hop bite into the finish. Nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
