Malty, plenty of pineapple marmalade. Old school double IPA. Pours clear golden in colour. Matliness kicks around in your mouth for a bit on aftertaste. Can.

473ml can. Pours a clear orange amber with a small, foamy, short lived, beige head that laces. Spicy aroma of caramel malt, pumpkin, cinnamon, clove and ginger. Spicy flavour of caramel malt, pumpkin, gingerbread, cinnamon and nutmeg in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Pretty solid. Like drinking pumpkin pie.

On tap at their Oxford taproom. Pours clear blonde. Sweet juicy apples and some musty skins on the nose. Flavour has tons of sweet juicy apples and some gentle must. Not a huge fan of sweet ciders in general, but this one is pretty solid; not overly sweet with some must to balance.

On tap at their Oxford taproom. Pours murky light brown with a beige head. Dry caramel and brown sugar on the nose. Flavour has lots of dry caramel, some dry grass, some stale bread. Not the most convincing dunkel, but decent.

On tap at their Oxford taproom. Pours murky dull blonde with a white head. Tons of fruity banana and cloves on the nose. Flavour has more of the same, just tons of those fruity esters. There's some dry grass as well, though it's fairly thin. Not a huge fan.

On tap at their Oxford taproom. Pours clear ruddy amber with a beige head. Light bread and caramel on the nose. Flavour has some bread crusts, a bit of dry caramel. It's okay, not the most convincing malt expression, but it's an okay red.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour has soft biscuit malts, a bit vegetal. Moderate carbonation. It's drinkable, but not the cleanest. Meh.
