330ml bottle. Opalescent, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average to huge, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy, minimally floral aroma with jelly bear character, hints of red berries, red jelly, rasin, mellow malty background with a touch of honey. Taste is dry, minimally earthy, slightly fruity, minimally citrusy hoppy with weak floral overtones, mellow malty basis with a peanut touch, restricted and unspecific fruitiness with red berry touch, some orange peel. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, foamy, mildly prickly carbonation. Seems to be a derivative of their We Are Not Alone in the Dark Ale, this time more English in a way, ESB / English IPA hybrid kind of; sadly no improvement, probably not the freshest hops used here - a bit disappointing.
