Bottle from the brewery. Very boozy and hoppy (80 IBU). Very tasty. Old ale is a misnomer, almost sarcastic. The malt is there and then unleashes hop flavour with lots of tropical fruit, pineapple.Thick, dangerously drinkable.A must try.

A hazy light orange with mountains of head. In the words of the brewer "this is grapefruit soup!". This was a revelation for me and my companions - the most dangerously drinkable high alcohol beer I’d ever had. Incredibly fruity - huge malt character. Some caramel thrown in if I remember right. Grapefruit hop aroma. Thick, chewy mouthfeel.
