Bottled, pasteurised, 500 ml. Amber with gassed but short lived head (I never got to see it!). Lying on my sickbed with a very bad back, I asked my Wife, nurse, waitress whether she could fetch me a beer, surprisingly she answered in the affimative. She brought this, I hit the nail on the head immediately with the signature GK Tea like hop and thin malt non of which I get really. The over carbonation leaves a wet paper taste and then there is a sweetish finish. Very disapointing indeed, but don’t tell the wife or she won’t fetch another.

Bottle 50 cl, SB. Pours clear deep amber with a good fluffy beige head leaving lacing. Aroma is malty, caramel, bready, hoppy and a bit fruity. Flavor is malty, soapy, caramel in front with shortlived sweetness in the middle together with fruits where also the bitterness becomes more evident sustaining to the end with the fruity and malty parts. Finishes bitter dry.

Bottle:Clear red colour, flat head. Aroma: Sweet maltynes and grassy, hay, grainy! Flavor had a thin mouthfeelingof sweet malty, some citrus and flowery was there, But it was anonymius! Is this IPA? Short finish.

Bottle. Amber, large off-white head. Aroma: floral, toffee. Taste: quite sweet, some kind of candy, floral, earthy, just a hint of raisins, low bitterness.

Redish amber with a medium white head. Fruity and flowery tones. Malt, fruit and flowers. Medium body with a balanced finsish.

Förmodar att det är så här det ska smaka när vi talar om traditionell engelsk IPA. Beghaglig beska, lagom sötma. Maltig, karamellig, fruktig och humlig. Lite väl tunn för min smak och hade önskat mer tydlig beska och en aning mer kolsyra.

Aroma of ocean and caramel...pours brown with thin head... Taste is kinda blah...not offensive..but nithing special

Aroma and taste of hops with hints of grass and citrus, and malt with hints of fruit and caramel. A very "English" and nice IPA! However, a little thin in flavor, but that it’s also typical English ...

500ml. bottle from the local Yamaya store. Sweet, and slightly sharp tart fruit pie aromas. Bright orange-brown, thick rocky head with good lace. A mild sweet initial gives way to a sourish metallic mid palate and then a mild bitter aftertaste. Watery, slightly sticky, and very little carbonation. Solid, pleasant, and unexciting. Sessionable, to be sure.

Schiuma bianca di media persistente. Limpida. Naso erbaceo con note di malti caramellati. In bocca inizialmente dolciastra, caramellata, con un finale secco tendenzialmente amaro

This bitter has the brewer’s signature aroma that combines grassy hopping with smokey caramel malt for a great overall nose. Then there’s the beautiful bright copper that’s often seen in English bitters. Heavy tan head, but not much of it sticks around. Unfortunately the flavor is way too sweet - almost a caramel bomb. Aside from that, it’s pretty downable. Needs a better hop ratio, but still better than the score indicates.
