On tap at GCBF 2016, pours a cloudy dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of red berries and light biscuity malt. Flavour follows accordingly, with dry red berries, a sort of vinous quality and bready malt. Low residual sweetness. Unusual for the style. Decent.

On tap at GCBF 2016, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out faded floral hops, some earthy notes and biscuity malt - smells anything but west coast style. Flavour is more like a British IPA, with floral hops, biscuity malt and light pine. Clean and drinkable, but pretty boring for the style.
