Oxblood with trailing taupe film. 3.75
Dried orange rind, some dank, red currant, and a hint of chocolate bark on the nose. 4
Lots of blood orange, carob, and ginger cake, then resin, pine sap, mango puree and... plum? 4
Raspberry jam end and numbing nettle tea linger.
Chewy, medium, round. 4

23.Dec bottled on date, so 7 weeks old - nice.

Hits hard and fast with some really interesting malts - cake and red fruit - though maybe a touch too much chocolate malt. The hops creep out, but we're getting the earthy, herbal, stone fruit end of these varieties - no citrus. Not especially American that way (label says "Hoppy US style Red"), yet a lot to hold the interest.

I like it - it's just not what the bottle says it is. 4.25
