Cask at Southampton Arms. Orange dark amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is plenty of cat pee hops, bit of fruit, bit of pine and a touch of spice. Taste is very prickly and quite fierce. Bit of blood orange and stacks of booze. Medium bodied. Not bad!

Can. Unclear orange-to-ruby color with off-white head. Aroma is intensely resinous, green hops, sticky hops. Taste is resinous, sticky hops again, earthy, leathery, quite a bitter finish. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Fun!
