2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Quite different. Pours slightly hazy and ruby in colour. Aroma is slight, but the palate is an odd mix of new world hops in the background and roasty caramel malt. Leaves a nice bitterness, and the alcohol makes this palatable. Anything lighter, and it would have been a difficult pint.
