Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. A hazy amber beer that pours with a large foamy head. It has malty and spicy fruity flavours with slight tart woody hop bitterness on the finish.

Bottle. Yellow with a medium head.Lots of bitterness and a sharp edgy flavour. Not very subtle but still worth trying.

Bottle conditioned 500ml from West Country Ales, Cheddar, Gloucs. Hazy orange gold with white head. I’m taking it that this is one of their Friday thrash around beers, very intense, very hoppy and dry, bitter, lime pith, lemon zest, pips, slightly tinny note. Phew.

500ml bottle. Pours a dark orange with a large head. Aroma is herbal, basil, coriander and pinenuts. Taste is aggressively bitter. Perfume and herbal. A bit too intense.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2012 Bottle from Pete. Smells like warm toasted hops. Woo, this is rather harsh. Begins like a hoppy quilted, slightly undercooked malt basket, but soon ratchets up to a supremely dry, burnt and very bitter finish. A bit difficult to drink. Smashed me like burnt cinder toffee.
