Tastes like an IPA to me. Just with less of a skunk to it. Not a favorite. Not much going on in it.

Not many notes on this except that it was lacking in everything. Bland. Aroma free. Taste free.

Ethereal (2355) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 23, 2009
On tap at Microbar, Battersea, 19th March 09. Amber, lively carbonation, decent white head. Sweet toffee malt taste, reasonably balanced but not dry. Bland nose though.

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 21, 2009
Bottle. Clear red amber with a smallish head. Malty aroma. Hints of nuts. Boring.

wyzzywyz22 (1474) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - MAR 18, 2009
Bottle, The Rake, London. Reddy amber colour with a fading off white head. Not much in the aroma department that stood out. Rather boring and nondescript malty flavour with vague hoppage. Some nuttiness too but all a bit insipid and bland. Just about drinkable, but disappointing.

fidel (1302) - Livermore, California, USA - MAR 12, 2009
Poured amber red, floral, malty, hoppy, little caramel, little bready, little nutty.

SHIG (2530) - Osan, SOUTH KOREA - MAR 8, 2009
Bottle: Poured a orange brown amber with a creamy off white to light beige head. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is rich with malt and yet off set with just enough hops to be balanced.

medium body, copper in color. Some toasted malt and hops flavor. Messiah bold is better
