COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First appeared as a draught special in March/April 2011.
This is not the same beer as the Marks & Spencer Greenwich Red Ale. They are similar recipes, but are not the same. They use completely different hops and malts.
Brewed with 5 hop varieties from the Yakima Valley, Washington State.

Draught @ Olutravintola Kukko, Kemi. This reddish brown coloured beer was a pleasant combination of hoppy aroma and taste with low ABV. Very refreshing.

On tap at Bacchus, Newcastle. A great bitter beer, with loads of spicy hop aroma and taste. Sharp and tasty on the palate, with a long satisfying finish. At 4% this is great stuff!

laiti (3925) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUL 16, 2011
UPDATED: MAY 3, 2013 Draught @ O’Hara’s Freehouse
Aroma is hoppy with lots of exotic fruits and resin. Flavour has the same elements with some woody notes. Refreshing and Good for a 4% beer! 8+3+7+3+13 = 3.4

33 cl bottle (4,1%) @ home, BBE 11.02.2014
Aroma has resin, some vanilla notes and hops. Flavour is also rather resiny with hops, some malty notes and some raspberries. A bit thin palate and feels harsh in the end. 8+3+7+2+15=3.5
