330ml brown bottle. Golden pour. Clear. Retains a small white creamy cap. Grapefruits and orange rind in the aroma. Hops also prominent in the flavor lending orangey notes. Malts are light, there is some fruity sweetness (pineapple and regualr sweet apple). Finishes with sharp and resiny grapefuit bitterness and aftertaste. Body is soft and creamy, moderate level of carbonation. Nice well hopped UK interpretation the style.

Jul 5, 2008 Medium hoppy, citrusy nose with some caramel. The flavour is not that heavy on the hops. but citrus, pines and grapes dominates, but the malt is quite evident. Quite bitter, fine and fresh.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Really floral aroma. Taste is pretty bitter with lots of floral and fruity notes,not the typical British IPA.

does not count  Jul 3, 2008 Quite unusual for a British IPA, very much like an American IPA with old world hops. Quite quaffable.

Jul 3, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Hazed gold, fizzy white head. Soft floral and pine aromas ride a light sweet undertone. Light flowery pine flavors up front fade to a touch of sweet citrus. Light bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. As an IPA freak, this was more basic and standard than what I had hoped for...
