6% red rye ipa. Pours clear dark amber with a thick off-white head. Aromas of light spice, kinda thin though. Not a generous nose, some caramel and toffee. Taste is chewy, wood spice, caramel. Slightly astringent on the finish.

Cask @ Calans, Hebden Bridge. Paler golden coloured with a small creamy head. The hop is dominant with a slight dryness attached. There’s some maltiness here too.

Cask. Rutland Arms, Sheffield. Clear, reddy Amber. Messy, bubbly, sticky, just off white head. Spicy hop. Very juicy. Alpine strawberry and the like. Light, soft toffee malts. Some resin on the back burner. Taste is spicy bittersweet. Smooth, nicely oily, full palate. Finishes spicy, light bitter. Very nice. These Blue Bee beers keep getting better.

On cask at Three Tuns, Dronfield - Clear yellow body, thick lacing white head. Body on this one was quite creamy, which made it go down too easy. The nose was tropical fruits, unripe mango and guava, with a citrus afterkick. Taste had a rawness about it, but not in a bad way. Quite a decent one really, nice and fruity.
