Tried on tap at Sail & Anchor. Reddy orange body with off-white head. Tropical fruit aroma, with peach apricot caramel and then some late grassy notes in the taste. Very drinkable though a little overrated.

Keg @ CBC Clerkenwell. The pour’s deep amber with a large off-white head. Attractive beer. The nose is of raspberry jam, rich chewy malts, some harvest fruits. Big, expressive aromas. The taste is more bright, sugary raspberry and strawberry jam, hints of tobacco and wood. Nice bouncy caramel malts. Vibrant flavors. Medium body, active carbonation. Overall, really nice stuff.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear light brown with an off-white head. Smells of fruity hops. Sweet and dry with floral aromas of hops, caramel malts and some grapefruit. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Lovely hops profile - very well balanced with the malt notes.

Bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Pours a clear dark red body with a sizable pillowy white head. So beautiful. :-) Nose is light strawberry tones, herbs and hints of grass. Fresh and nice. Taste is strawberry again, pine and red berries with hints of mint and pale malts. Soft and quite pleasant carbonation level, semi-slick mouthfeel. Simple and nice, yet very original. Definitely my favorite this far from 8 Wired.

Drought @ Mikkeller bar. Hazy deep reddish pour, off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, some pine. Flavor is bitter floral hops with some spicy thick malt base, nice balance. More like an IPA than an amber ale, but very nice.

dark amber color. Big hoppy character with solid caramel notes in the background. Dry. Fairly aggressive finish. Well balanced.

Bouteille. Une robe ambrée avec un filet de mousse beige. Le nez est une ode au malt caramel / crystal, une chance qu’il y a du houblon pour contrecarrer les plans de ce caramel maléfique. En bouche le liquide se défend bien, car les houblons viennent à la rescousse de tout ce caramel. Des levures fruitées complètent la marche. Très agréable, une sorte de bière destinée à l’Inde mais qui aurait Dublin comme ville de départ au lieu de Burton-upon-Trent ou Londres.

Bottle @ home, shared with the gf. No matter how slow you pour it, a huge, dense, lasting white head will form. The head doesn’t shrink.. Im getting thirsty. The beer itself is hazy amber coloured. Smells some orange peel, hops, slightly sweet, slightly grapefruit, malts. Tastes mandarin, slightly chocolate, some hops, malts and even a bit roasty. Quite a special combination of flavours. Thin to medium body, soft carbo.
