Tap. Pours deep black, medium creamy beige head, great lacing. Aroma is Grapefruit, pine, roast. Flavor is light plus sweet, light plus bitter, a bit piney astringent. Medium body, silky mouthfeel. Just misses the sweet spot of a black IPA.

Can shared at the JK Tasting - Craft Beer Co., Islington. Many thanks to JK! Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds zesty orange, light rind and pale bread. Medium sweet flavour with notes of pine and ripening citrus fruits. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, a bit boozy, with more rindy orange. Not bad.
