Murky orange. A sweet hoppy aroma. Some head. Harsh. A blast of flavor but no particularly good flavor. Bitter. Sour.

Jan 7, 2010 On tap @ Flanigan’ Ale House. Malty toasty aroma; medium bodied. Toasted & biscuit flavors, medium hop with some malt sweetness in the finish. A nice representation of an English IPA.

Jan 1, 2010 Hop aroma is pretty muted which I should expect from a Great Britain IPA. Appearance is ordinary. Taste is more of a pale ale than an IPA. Has the distinctive British water that seems to muddy the hops and lower their brightness.

Dec 28, 2009 Maybe I have a leaning towards hoppier IPA’s, but this one seems a little bland for one.
It is, however, a nice flavor, and I would take it anyday over a pale lager.
Slightly sour aftertaste-- more sour than bitter.

Dec 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Copper pour with a creamy off-white head. Muted grapefruit and floral hop aroma. Citrus and caramel malt taste. More of a malt backbone and less pop than the American ipa’s that I’m born and bred on.

Dec 18, 2009 50 cl bottle. Clear, pale amber golden with a white head. Lightly citrusy aroma. Fairly light-bodied. Some malt but overwhelmingly dominated by fairly dry and citric hops that leave a solid dose of bitterness. Over all a tasty understated IPA. A nice change from the hoppiness of the IPAs from the west coast.

Dec 8, 2009 I poured this brew from a pint+ bottle, had a caramel aroma with hints of biscuit, poured golden clear color with a minimal head, tasted a medium bitterness, lightly sour and a dry bitter finish; definetly a smooth beer that I could drink all night long; I had this one while enjoying some pasta with shrimp and parmesan and was excellent complement to the meal

Dec 1, 2009 Pours a medium golden, slight haze to the bottle. Little head retention. Hoppy with a slight hint of grass and malt on the nose. Starts mildly bitter then ends with a quick rush of malt and a slight lingering bitterness at the end. Medium mouthfeel with a medium-high carbonation.

Nov 12, 2009 Draft at Toad in the Hole. Foggy gold with small, soapy head. Signature Scottish (Golden Promise?) honeylike malt on the nose, plus sweet floral, mint and geranium. Flavor sustains the motif of Scottishness again with the reminiscence of Golden Promise (but the beer, not the cultivar of barley this time). ISTR the bottled product being sharper and hoppier, but both are lovely.
