Cask at Euston Tap, London. Hazy deep yellow color. Sweet fruity and spicy aroma with orange and pepper. Flavors of toffee, pepper and clove. The spiciness is slightly dull and soapy.

Light amber with banana and gentle cloves in the nose. Plenty of black pepper in the body, but also a slew of tropical fruit flavours with pineapple and tangerine particularly boisterous. A chat with the brewer revealed that these flavours came from the high dose of Bobek hops with First Gold and Pioneer providing ample support in the bittering department.
