500ml bottle from Sainsbury. I really tried to be open minded with this, but this really is pants. Plasticine hop aroma, that improves somewhat in the mouth, but it lacks flavour. It has the hallmarks of the lower strength IPA, but souped up a bit. Hop bite on end is attractive. Thinnish in mouth. Some rose petal fruit on aroma. Some nutty malt. If it wasn’t for the hop bite on the end, then this would be very dull. I had this with Asahi lager, Badger First Gold and Fullers 1845 and this was the worst of the bunch.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweet malty caramel flavor with some weak hints of hops. Has a long malty caramel finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Deep amber color, small beige head. Light toffee and nutty notes, prominent English hops. But also some cardboard. Light to medium-bodied. Dry, almost astrigent minty flavor in front. Harsh bitterness, wood and nuttyness. Caramel maltyness in the back. Aftertaste is nutty-hoppy. Unbalanced and restless.

Bottle - Tasting at Plan B. Clear golden - white head. Syrup, sugar, brown sugar, malty sweetess, light light hoppy, light grainy, fruity. Boring.
