From bottle in tapered shaker. Pours dark copper with nice two-finger head and earthy tones on the nose. Broad taste profile from the malts balanced by hop bitterness. A most enjoyable amber.

Mother Kelly’s. Keg. Hazy deep amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Smooth and mildly creamy malts. Really nice combo of marmalade, orange peel and red berry fruits. Mild hop spice. The berry and marmalade vibe is vibrant. Light airy finish. Very well joined up and super drinkable.

Much better than I remembered. Quite syrupy on the palate but this beer has a nice richness to it that makes it very pleasant to drink.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s, Bethnal Green, London. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, malty, caramel aroma. Tastes similar hoppy, malty, caramel, fruity. Nice one from Epic.
