29/12/2019. Bottle sample courtesy of minutemat, cheers! Pours clear dark gold with a short lasting white head. Aroma of toffee, hops, passion fruit, butterscotch, citrus and a hint of chocolate. Moderate sweetness, medium plus bitterness. Moderate body, oily/sticky texture, average carbonation. Quite a bitter finish. Interesting brew, pretty good.

330ml bottle from Appleyards. Pours a deep gold, moderate patch white froth atop. Aroma brings passionfruit, toffee, malt, citrus, grapefruit. Taste is indeed crisp with a confident bitterness, toffee and passionfruit seem to be the order of the day, bright and hoppy overall with light floral notes with some butterscotch. Tasty, but the butterscotch is a little off-putting.
