Bottle from Beautiful Beers, Bury St E. Aroma is earthy with soft fruit and citrus. Hazy amber brown. Thick foamy white head. Citrus sour edge with juicy fruits and resin edge that takes avoids too much sweetness. Caramel and candy sugar. Underlying earthiness. A touch of booze. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. A tad pithy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat dry finish. No complaints. Is as advertised. A fruity amber IPA that does not skimp on the bitterness.
