Colour is clear light orange with a finger-thick white head. Aroma has boozy fruit cocktail i.e. alcohol, orange and banana. Taste starts with strong fruity alcoholic bitterness. Bittersweet orange-mango
liquor fills the mouth with hints of bitter grapefruit and dry pine. Towards the end sweet fruit candy, spicy-biting alcohol and strong
piny bitterness start to compete with each other. Aftertaste is strong and lasting
and has bitter pine and sweet fruity booze.
Really strong, fruity and bitter Imperial IPA. The combination of
sweet orange, boozy bite and pine bitter make this one hard to handle -
the beer barks and bites. And I love it. Excellent stuff from the other Derbyshire master brewery.

Strong brew asks for a powerful song. In addition to a sword pictured in the bottle label, the king needs a temple or a sanctuary. This is a medieval-toned fantasy ballad about one. Rainbow was one of the supergroups of the 70's, originally joining together Ritchie Blackmore's mastery of guitar and Ronnie James Dio's unbelievable vocal range.

From the 1975 album Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, the song was written by Ritchie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio.
