Creamy. Drinkable. Not IPA on my humble opinion. Was expecting more. At Worthing FC stadium.

KeefOz (471) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - MAY 5, 2013
Tasted 23/4/2013 draught "Bridge Bar & Eating House", Heathrow International Airport, UK. Poured a clear dark amber with a 5mm white bubble head that diminished quickly. Aroma faintly of malt. Taste sourish initally which followed right through with the addition of hops bitterness in the mid- to late palate. Light body. Short slightly sour finish. Not a good example of an IPA.

NateSeats (8) - Barlborough (nr Sheffield), Derbyshire, ENGLAND - MAY 2, 2013 does not count
This is an Anti-IPA. What I mean by this is that an IPA should have certain characteristics and this rubbish famously achieves none of them. Under-strength, under-hopped and under-attenuated. It’s about time that beer and particularly IPA was protected by trade descriptions.

Too thin to make me a real fan. Some good malty tastes, and tiny hints of hops. I hoped for more, but it\s not bad at all. A bit creamy.
