440ml can: BB 31st October 2023, drank at home on 16th October 2023. Poured into a vase shaped UK pint glass. Mini-haze to the old golden coloured body, smooth white crown on top. The hops do their thing, tropical fruit aroma and taste lays with a sweetness that is unusual in a hop (I believe), and it works well in this beer.

Hazy rusty orange colour with thin head. It's a mild one with subtle floral hop notes and sweetish esters off the malt.

Can. Gusher and a difficult pour. Black with (too) huge foaming head. The rest is all good though. Packed full of roasted, bitter malts. Slightly burnt. Full bodied.
