Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is soft pale malt, mild citrussy hops, orange, pretty strong herbal notes, peppery and a healthy dose of bitter and sour liberal tears. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and a bit tart with an above moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. A tart IPA, bit rough around the edges, but I like it.

Аромат впринципе неплохой, есть какая то карамелька с хмелем, почти нету заявляенного по стилю оттенка дыма. Цвет карамельный, пенка приятная, стойкая и мелкопузырчатая. Во вкусе хмель просто уничтожает все живое в твоем рту. За этим шоком почти ничего не ощащается, хотя карамелька там действительно на месте. Для маленькой пивоварни нормально, но можно и лучше.

Cask at the Peterborough Beer and Cider Festival 2024 with Grumbo and ITFCDan. Aroma is grainy, orange, grapefruit, citrus and tangerine. Thin body, but a decent bitterness.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear gold with small white top. Aroma of pale malt, citrus, hint of berry and old cardigans. Taste of butter, lime zest, bread crust, quite bitter. Very drying in the finish and the lightish body only gives some respite to this. Not great.
