Clear red to purple brown beer, small solid creamy light beige head, pretty adhesive, nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, ripe forest fruits, caramel, pretty sweet. MF: soft carbon, full body. Taste: pretty fruity, some citrus, ripe summer fruit, then mocha, some caramel. Aftertaste: bitter hoppy, burned toast, mocha, fruity touch, some coffee in the end.

Cask @ Craft. Pours clear dark ruby with decent head. Hoppy aroma. Citrus fruits, blackcurrant especially at the end, with malty base. More bitter than I expected. Very nice pint!

Cask at HWBF. Aroma of hops and berries. Taste is caramel malt and more berry sharpness. Very delicious.

Quite dark a red ale. Hoppy, quite a dry bitterness and some hints of herbs and grass in it. As a mild, nothing is too overbearing and it would make for a good session ale.

Amber colored pour. Small white/off-white head. Lots of lacing. Big malty hoppy aroma. Big malty hoppy taste. Slight bitterness. Very quaffable.
