Appearance: Treacle brown with a reddish tinge. There is big copper-white coloured head that goes quickly but leaves a nice lacing.
Aroma: The typical grapefruit and lychee hops on the nose but with hints of metallic coffee on the back.
Flavour: Starts off with a treacly sweet malt flavour but which quickly transcends into a very sharp fruity spice (a bit like raw blackcurrant).
Body: Light but round giving it a nice feel at first, but it becomes sharp at the end. Very wet.
Aftertaste: A pungent taste of slightly overripe fruit with a mulled spice initially which leads to a dry bitterness at the end.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 5, however it has real potential.
Price Range: £2.80 for a 330ml bottle, would probably get it again at a later date when they have time to iron out a few kinks.
Food Pairings: Some nice soda bread and some olive oil and Dukkah to dip.
