Can from. Two Thirsty Men. It pours clear rich amber with a small white head. The aroma is sappy, sticky, resin, berry, dried fruits, toffee, floral and juniper. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, toffee, resin, sappy, crisp biscuit, wood, berry, floral accents, marmalade and some peppery juniper. Finish is crisp and dry. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Quite an old skool British IPA offering, but works well with a wee dram.
