Hazy amber. Frothy translucent white head provides 80% coverage. Aroma is fruity and syrupy. Lightest bitter edge. Flavourwise it's more bitter. Resinous. Woody. A smoothing earthy edge. Peppery. Peripheral stone fruit. Light-medium bodied. Smooth. Almost pithy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.

7/8/2025. Cask at GBBF 2025. Decent pour. Nice hoppy resiny toffee aroma. A little sweet but good bitterness. Good body. Enjoyable.

Darker golden colour, creamy off-white lacing; aroma of peachy, orange peel, pomelo and floral notes; hop-dominant taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; really good classical IPA
