Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet aroma with fruity notes. Sweet flavor with caramel and a pepper bite in the end.

Draft at The Ship in Whitstable High Street. This beer really does make you sit up and take notice, Pours a pale straw colour with a spicy hoppy aroma backed with ginger. My lips actually felt like they were burning drinking this beer - the owner of the pub makes his own EXTREMELY hot pickled eggs and I thought a drop of juice from the jar must have got into my pint! Never experienced a chilli hit like it, but overall a very rich, flavoursome pint that demands to be remembered.

Handpulled cask at JDW St. Albans. Hazy gold with a healthy white head. A fairly ordinary North West bitter to start with but the ginger and chilli soon start tickling the tastebuds and this develops into quite an unusual experience. Overall, dry and moreish. I liked it more than I thought I would.
