2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at cask. Golden orange with no head. Slight caramel aroma with a hint of hops. Weak taste, not offensive. Flat. Not the best, let’s be honest
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
7th March 2009
Hazy amber beer. Thick frothy head. Rich deep hoppy beer for England! (But doesn’t match US versions for hops and weight!). A little spice in the dry finish. Soft and frothy palate.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from Pig’s Ear festival in December ’08, anyway the bottle reports bb October ’08
The bottle is a slow gusher; it pours a hazy amber color with huge head, quite solid and persistent. The aroma is a bit malty, hoppy, and with some chemicals, metallic, that can be explained with the extra fermentation. Correct body strength, it has just a metallic caramel flavor, high bitterness and some vegetables. This beer would not have lasted the trip to India...
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw as well as a touch of spices. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and citrusy hops, leading to a dry, bitter, and orangey finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hops have fallen off. Dark yellow, little haze. Very nice beer, but it’s not an IPA anymore. Little sticky in the finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: FEB 1, 2009 Poured with a nice head that lasted for the duration of the drink. Felt full in the mouth with a citrus taste that was relfected in the aroma. Alcohol abvious, but not in a bad way. Tasty, with a fairly nice appearence, and a hoppy bite.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, shared by Fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a nice, small off-white head. Citrusy hops and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor is sweet, piney and citrusy. Caramel too. Good, but not impressing. Full-bodied, almost astringently bitter. Lasting bitter finish with pine and resin. A surprising English IPA. (080823)
