Rather murky. Dull amber. Grapefruity, floral aroma. Sweet, lemony, sticky and a bit strong. It tastes a bit messy but it’s not bad.

Copper-amber. Has a very earthy aroma. Quite earthy - the hops aren’t really very bright. Lots of caramel and biscuit. Would like more expressive hops in an IPA, and I’m not getting much oatmeal.

Dark brown. Chocolatey and lightly roasty. A bit thin on the malt sugars, but ok.

Reddish-brown. Sweet, very fresh grain, crackling crystal malts and toastiness. Chocolatey, too. Pretty good brown.
