Draught. Cloudy brown orange with thick white head. Hoppy aroma, smelled rather like an IPA. Hoppy flavour, citrusy with a malt edge. Hop finish. Bigger than it looked.

A really surprising beer. I was not expecting much but this is sparkly and really bitter. A nice red color too.

Resiny hops and caramel in the nose. A hot pepper tang, slight peach flavor and modest resiny hop, Clear dark amber/brown color with almost no head. A little under-carbonated. Clean finish.

Piney hops start; faint malt. Deep copper color with barely off-white head. Dank, resinous almost sap-like hop flavor starts, which rounds out to finish semi-sweet. Medium bodied with crisp finish and high bitterness. An enjoyable amber that tastes similar to a dark IPA.
