4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Aroma - This beer has a very floral, almost flowery aroma, with hints of citrus and tropical fruit, as well as some honey and caramel.
Appearance - Pours a clear golden, orangish body, with a frothy beige head. Some lacing and decent head retention. The beer does look like an American IPA, but the appearance is not super impressive.
Taste - Starts out with a pretty solid hop bite, with a little spiciness to it. Fairly sweet, with hints of honey and toffee. I was getting loads of fruit notes (pineapple, apples, mangoes, some citrus). The after-taste has some moderate bitterness and a biscuity undertone to it. Not very bready.
Palate - The mouthfeel is very smooth. Medium-bodied, low in carbonation, and very soft on the palate, with just a little bit of a pepper-like spiciness (which only complements the general feel of it all).
Drinks well, but I wouldn’t call this beer sessionable nor quaffable. At a fairly high ABV, it goes down very easily, but you will start to feel it in your body, nevertheless.

Amber, thick white head, looks inviting; citrus hop aroma and a good, slightly tangy citrus flavour; tastes quite powerful; another Adnams beer which seems to effortlessly achieve a modest quality - if Adnams were a supermarket they’d be Waitrose.

Surprisingly bitter for an English IPA. Loads of fruit but also a bit creamy. Interesting.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Oh lordy, this has more caramel than hops. It’s not a good thing, In my opinion, If I was an English local (an I was for a long time) then this would be a departure from the standard fare of beer, and I possibly might be enthralled, but I’m not now and as a stand-alone beer compared up against the work of other brewery types this then is a bit of a pigs ear.
Only for those with a sweet tooth and low expectations
