Old rating - A 330ml bottle from Suds & Soda in Derby. Aromas & tastes of fruits, toffee, pine. The strong ABV is very present & not doing any favours. Just about passable.

Bottle bought by my father at Beer District, Buxton. Clear - heading towards opaque - amber. Thick fluffy foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Resin and herbs. A sour citrusy streak. Big wave of brown bread doughy malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Bouyed by soft and lazily fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Slips down but in an unimpressive fashion.

Bottle. High Peak Beer and Wine. As with other Torrside pales this pours with a muddiness about the colour. Kind of thing that makes you wonder if it’s a bit oxidised (see pic). Which it isn’t. But it looks it. Anyhoo. Lovely swede if nothing else. Nose has biscuity malts. Rind and pith of sweet ripe orange. Nice twang of lime in there. Bit of a fusty sweet white grape thing too. Taste has a touch of sweetness up first but mostly it’s bitter and lightly tangy (actually maybe it is a bit wonky?). Good depth of flavour overall. Plenty of bitterness to finish. Definitely not run of the mill.
