As good a place as any to expound upon my overarching Star Wars theory: the whole thing was designed by George Lucas to refute the auteur theory of cinema. Can. Almost clear gold with a 2cm white head. Aroma of mandarin, pineapple, crackers. Some grapefruit and pine. Clean, dryish but there's firm pale malt there too. Quite punchy citrus with medium high bitterness. Enough to keep you interested but not so much as to be wearing.

(On tap - called American IPA now, according to brewer’s website). Clear amber brown with good white head. Aroma of toffee and pine. Medium body with good fine carbonation. Nice balance of caramel and hop bitterness. Good bitter finish. Citrus notes at start. Very drinkable.

2021 version is 7% ABV. Bottle. Lovely deep clear red with a dense beige head. Aroma is woody with cherries, balsamic vinegar, mellow apples, a hint of chocolate. Sour but soft and creamy textured with some acid notes creeping through. Some of the fruit is sharp and some remains sweet. Oak gives structure. Fine drop.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Dense beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, red berries, caramel, treacle and sweet liquorice. Malty, roasted taste with black coffee, liquorice, burnt sugar, caramel, cacao, raisins, dark fruit and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and tasty, with lots of coffee and cacao. Very nice.
