A delicious, refreshing red ale. It brings together a range of 6 specialty malts and New World hops. This creates a characterful ale with a toffee, caramel and dark fruit palate, finishing with soft piney, resinous hop notes.

Zaandam gone wild. Can can can. Sweet malts, bitter hops, light resin, grapefruit.
Can in some kind of moving vehicle with magical voices. Straight from can, handed to me by alcoholic elves with big smiles. Sweet malts, wet hay, dry mouthfeel, very hoppy and light caramel. Moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation.
Can shared on the train. Clear deep
Amber with beige head. Fresh dank hops, toffee, caramel, light weeds, orange peeel, light cheesy and dank weeds. Medium sweet and solid medium bitter. Medium bodied.
Appearance- ruby red, dark brown hints, a cream head of half a finger. Aroma- dark fruit hints, blackcurrant, malty. Taste- very malty, blackcurrant hints, trace of apple, raisin, bitter hops, quite a full mouthfeel.
Keg. Manor House wanstead. Red so it tastes red which often means a bit celery. No different here but very smooth too. Slips down a treat. A good option.

Keg. Pours dark amber brick red brown with a medium thin tan head subsiding average to a thin rim. Scent is scentless maybe a bit of brown sugar. Taste is medium coffee and medium dense amber ale. Quite bitter but not without some brown sugar. Finish is smooth and a bit biting. Very great beer.
On tap at Holy Grale. Pours a cloudy brown with medium beige head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is strong rye, caramel, resin. Medium body, rye, toffee, strong resin bitter finish, very good.
Tap at the Pint Shop, Cambridge, UK. Red brown color with an off-white head. Floral but limited hop aroma. Sour and bitter on the tongue with a malty undertone. Quite nice.
6.3%ABV. Red ale.
Poured out red brown. 23°SRM.
Nose is sweet and creamy. Caramel peanuts or praline pecans. Pecan pie is the aroma I was looking for.
Mouthfeel is carbonated. Palate is mineral, salty and broad carbohdrate not not quite starchy, with dough and fresh baked barley loaves. Toast, deeply browned pie crust. Overall the palate comes across as slightly leathery. Hops are bitter and slightly medicinal. Clean bitter.
Finish is medium. Lingering bitter.

Bottle. Amber with medium off-white head. Malt and hoppy aroma, Caramel sweet flavour with pine hoppy bitterness
Licht bruin met een dikke crème kraag. Redelijk moutig met aardbei en mango
Keg @ Ninth Ward, Farringdon, London. Deep red with a thin off-white creamy head. It’s a Black IPA with a dominant dark malt fruitiness, with some underlying roasted malts evident too. Crisp enough drinking despite its strength.
Colore ambra scuro rosso. Schiuma ampia e frizzantina di colore biancastro. Aroma floreale e erbaceo. Al palato è una buona ale, amarognola, consistenza leggera, una bella base maltata. Carbonazione media. Eccellente
Amber ale with smallish head leaving lots of lacing to the sides of the glass. Aroma has red berries, sweet fruits, caramel malts. Taste is quite sweet at first. There is caramel malts, sweet berries and then dry kick of the hops. Pines and grass hop flavours. Medium body and medium carbonation.
Bottle. Brownish beer with a very strong off white head. The aroma is yeasty with some roastedness, and the flavour is very dry and roasted with bags of bitterness. Overall a nice very bitter and dry beer.

33cl bottle at home from Buxton taproom. Nose is citric. Body is brown, head is small , beige, creamy, mostly lasting, good lacing. Aroma is citrus, chocolate, roasted malt, tropical fruits, quinine, dark fruits, pine. Medium sweet, heavy bitter. Finish is long lasting roasty and hoppy heavy bitter, slightly salty side taste. Medium body, thick texture, average carbonation. Quite easy dessertish beer, feels like an American hoppy black IPA, fantastic.
Bottle from Bacchanalia, Mill Road, Cambridge. Brownish red, hazy, like generic cherry cola. Caramel, resin and dried fruit dominate the heady aroma. Tastes even better than it smells. Sweet piney fruit hit is followed by bitter oily hop. Huge hop intensity in the long finish... bitter but never acrid. More pine in aftertaste. Damn this is good.
This one is quite a punch. Very rich and intense dark fruits with rich caramel notes. Heavy and thick. I liked it quite a lot.
Keg @ Bishops Arms Hornsgatan. Hazy deep amber, creamy tanned head, good lacing. Caramel aroma with fruity hops, tangerines and orange. Smooth and dry mouthfeel. Great fresh hoppy taste with the malty sweetness, caramel, biscuits, woody notes, bitter orange, grapefruit and dried dark fruit. Very drinkable!
Bottle. Deep, murky brown, red tinged, cream head, minimal lacing. Aromas of grapefruit and spicy hops backed up with dark brown sugar like malts. Big grapefruit, citrus and stone fruit hop flavours which has a strong malt backbone to pull it together, before finishing with bitter, resinous grapefruit. Delicious beer.
Bottle from Good Spirits Co Glasgow a reddish brown colour aroma is red fruits flavour is hoppy fruity significant bitterness on the finish
Bottle from Metro Wines, Leicester. Rich and deep Zambezi colour with a light tan head. Aroma has dark fruit, toffee and citrus malt. Taste is light sweet to mid bitter. Thick palate.
Bottle from work. Clear amber/ruby appearance. Moderate white head. This is OK but not my favourite from Buxton. A little too caramely/sweet and not as citrusy/hoppy/grassy as some US rye IPAs I go nuts for. Orange. Bit of maple syrup? Perfectly fine but I won’t rush out for it again.
Bottle from Vino Wines. Clear ruby/amber body with a medium off-white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of Marmite, candy, Black Jacks, roasted malts and dates. Flavour of salted caramel, strawberry syrup, wood, sweet blackcurrant and stewed tea. Medium body with a sticky mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Packed full of flavour. Really good.
Cafe Sara, january 30th 2015. Deep red body with a big offwhite head. Aroma of dark fruits, toffee, strawberry. Taste is hoppy with grapefruit and burned caramel, Light bitterness, sweet orange and pineapple aftertaste. Nice.

Bottle from a corner shop.
Appearance - deep amber with a red hue. Decent head.
Nose - burnt bread, a bit molasses.
Taste - burnt again, some rye,
Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy yetsslightly astringent finish.
Overall - a bit gnarly but the challenge is somewhat rewarded.
Bottle from Cornelius. Hazy deep ruby amber, big fluffy off white head. Hoppy malty nose. Medium body, sweet with lightly butter finish. Caramel, light toffee and dried fruit. Medium long bitter finish. Solid as ever from Buxton.
