Bottle from Bottle Baron. Hazy ruby/brown body with a dense beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of red apple, carrot cake and zesty orange. Flavour of caramel, strewed rhubarb and a light, citrus finish. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A great Amber Ale - I reckon it would be amazing on cask. If I’m being picky, I’d have liked it a touch stronger to bring out a bit more sweetness and complexity.

Keg at The Grapes, Oxford, Wednesday 2nd December 2015. Pours cloudy yellowy gold with a white creamy head. Fruity and hugely hoppy, but a good punchy hoppiness. Busy carbonation, lots of hoppy burps, I guess that the strength is noticeable but the alcohol does not burn and isn’t intrusive in anyway. it’s a very good beer A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

On tap at the Adam & Eve, Bristol 2/11/2015. Golden in colour, with a tight, white, head. Grapefruit aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour had crisp malts, more tropical fruit and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Cloisters. Pours clear dark brown with a thick tan head. Aromas of coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is sweet, milky coffee, then roasted coffee on the finish. A little thin, and could have done with some spritz.

Draft at IMBC 2015. Deep reddish maroon color. Nice aroma of port wine. Taste has soft vinous sourness with moderate roast. I’m not normally a fan of dark sours, but this one works pretty well.
