Can. I wouldn’t say this stuff is bad exactly, but it certainly is boring, and definitely not an IPA. Pours clear amber with a small white head. Malty aroma with some earthy hops. Flavor is sweet with muddled fruits and malts, augmented by a curious bitterness. Medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes lightly hoppy and sweet. Drinkable.

19.11.2004, 0,66l Bottle. Amber brown color. Weak malty aroma. A little sweet. Short smooth aftertaste. When Itried it, it was to cold I think. I should have waited a little.

Got a pack of four from the supermarket. Right away the colour of the cans was a little off-putting. Yes, they are green thats what I mean. Taste is like thick vinegar, the beer is extraordinary thick and filling given its 3.6%, the smell is strong and powerful and this one does not go great on the palate, leavs a rotten aftertaste for some time as well. I very much recommend avoiding this beer.

Very English style in the weak department for an IPA. Kinda watery. Flavors are there, just not bold enough to really be interesting.

If Budweiser made an IPA this is what you would get. Very weak and flavorless.

500ml can. Amber, vanishing beige head. Nice if plain aroma of caramel and flowers. Taste is pretty straightforwardly sweet with finishing bitterness and salt. Light bodied. Very slight carbonation. There’s no magic here, but this is an OK bitter - maybe it really suffers in bottles.

Aroma is easily the best thing about this beer. Aroma is toffee and hop. Colour is a caramel brown with small white head. Taste starts with a smooth hop bitterness with caramel and toffee and finishes very nicely. I really nice IPA although with the lack of hops makes me put it a little lower.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks tomer! Copper-amkber color. Weak aroma with a bit of butter, sulphur and some malt. Sweetish flavor with slightly stale malt. Light-bodied.

At a tasting, ckear light coppry colour, malty aroma with notes of honeycomb and honey drops. Flcaramel, some light fruit, hints of hops and a dry soda like sensation, light bodied and a short sour aftertaste. easy to drink but not really exciting.

Thanks Tomer for sharing this one, pours cognac color with a small cream color head, aroma is weak, some cheese, lemon and malt sweetness can be sensed, flavors of cereals, malt, rice and bitterness towards the end, light bodied, easy to drink.
