Commercial Description:
Cask, Occasional
The use of crystal malts gives this beer a rich, ruby-red colour and initial sweetness which combines with a spicy, citric hop aroma to develop into a very smooth and easy-drinking beer which belies its strength. Hops used: Amarillo

Cask at GBBF 2009. Reddish copper, lasting beige head. Sweetish bitter, touch of strawberry fruit. Bit watery in mouth. Faint spritzey finish. Neither a bitter not nor a sweetish red ale. Falls between the 2 stools. OK, if not ery interesting.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Deep amber color, small beige head. Dry woody hoppy nose. Some nuts and caramel, light dry woody hops in the flavor. Sweetish and not very exciting "red".

A Mes rate. Cask handpull from Baker Street ’Sporks.
Dark copper with a thin off white head and plenty of lace. Well balanced bright and perfumed hops with some good malty hints and a really pleasing bitterness in the finish. Straight forward but really enjoyable.
