Bottle thanks to Dave. It pours dark brown with a small off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, soapy citrus, charred pine, dried fruits and coffee grounds. The taste is smooth upfront, bitter, charred pine, peppery spice, malt loaf, earth, coffee grounds and dull soap with a lingering bitter roast finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Actually not bad.

Bottle shared at the 2015 edition of the chriso Pre-GBBF tasting - London. Pulled from the chriso rotter, I believe. Cheers! Pours clear, deep gold with a creamy, white head. Plenty of bready malts here, along with lightly tangy citrus fruits. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Moderately sweet on the finish, with simple bready malts predominating. A little too aged but OK.

500ml bottle at Fox & Ferret Riccarton, Christchurch. Pours cloudy amber. Hoppy nose. Well balanced taste, but a beet more sweetness wouldn’t hurt; I find it a bit pale for an IPA.
