<i>330ml bottle from Tesco, Alfreton/</i> Amber with a ring of white head; bitter marmalade aroma; tangy bitter citrus flavour with orange and grapefruit predominating; warming and intensely bitter finish. Very smooth and mellow, an excellent easy-drinking well-balanced IPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clean, smooth, a little scotchy and smokey. Citrus and faded. Lingering bitter finish. Good, but there are waaaaaay cheaper pale ales out there that are just as good.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2011 Re-rate 3/15/11: Hazy golden color with a big bubbly white head. Hoppy aroma of citrus and tropical fruits. Bitter juicy grapefruity hops flavor. A very bitter finish that stays on the tongue long after I swallow the beer. Medium-bodied. Good. 7/3/8/3/15=3.6

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Cask at Gallows Bird on 2008-01-26) Very clear. A bit yellow colour. Fruity hops in nose and in taste, too. Rather light bodied but some malts can be tasted. The bitterness lasts in the aftertaste quite long. Still, a bit dull IPA.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Batch 003, best by 7/7/08. Hazy orange-yellow with a thin white loose foam cover. Citrus hop aroma, a bit piney, some biscuit malts. Taste is pronounced pine resin, bitter hops, hints of citrus, and more maltiness but not much caramel as many IPAs have.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a nice huge white head. Aroma and flavour of fruit, hops, malt and with floral and grassy notes.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grassy, earthy hops. I didn’t get any of the citrus or pine that other people have mentioned. The flavor is mainly hoppy, with lots of earthy hops. Quite a bit of bitterness and not much of a malt backbone. Thin mouthfeel. Decent beer, but nothing special.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Four oz sample from a botttle at the 3 sons beer tasting. Not much hop aroma. Looks like pale lager. Bitter and somewhat strong but smoother than most IPA. Bitter hop linger. Quite watery body for an IPA. Very little carbonation.
