2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma is slightly musty with some citrus. Pours pale copper / deep gold with a thin head. Flavour is slightly cloying with a thin mouthfeel. On the plus side there is plenty of good bitterness and some underpinning hoppy grapefruit and resin. All told a passable if workmanlike proper IPA.

Gravity at London Drinker beer festival 2010.
Tawny with a thin head, a fresh orangey grassy nose, the taste is nutty, orangey & malty to start with, then very dry-bitter with a long dry-bitter finish.
Very nice, though it is lacking balance.

A Sim rate: Smells metallic, like it’s got a penny brewing in the bottom. Bitter flavour, but in a no flavour sort of way. Sharp and not great.
