On tap at Low Key Taproom Ashford Cloudy gold colour lasting white head. Big intense fruity aroma
Mostly citrus fruits some tropical. Really interesting flavour. Somw grapefruit flavour some mango. Not much bitterness but some is there. It's got a lot of hops. Some juiciness. Interesting. Light earthiness. Decent.

7.2/10
Overwhelming laphroiag. Lacks balance. Not sure where the tonka is. I like the barrel presence, but the underlying beer is underwhelming and thin

7.5/10 — Appearance 5 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
330ml can. Cloudy, brown colour with ruby shimmer and slightly late awakening, small to average, frothy, diminishing, dark beige head. Spicy and minimally citrusy fruity aroma, caramel malty background, notes of tonka beans, a touch of orange, mandarine, orange, a touch of maple syrup. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty, spicy and citrusy fruity, initial notes of tonka beans, caramel, cinnamon, some maple syrup; refreshing, zesty notes of blood orange come in; reign the middle part and fade out slwoly in the last third; lingering, sweet-ish finish with mildly bitter remnants of blood orange zest.
Creamy to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, dense, soft carbonation.
Very nice composition, maybe not completely balanced; very nice (and most welcome) refreshing effect due to the blood orange, tonka is reliably tasty - pretty good.
