660ml bottle [Double W IPA]. Filmy copper colour with small, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hop aroma with notes of mandarine, minimally herbal, a piney touch. Taste is caramel malty, a touch of biscuit, citrusy hoppy overtones, hints of orange and mandarine; in the finish bitter hoppy with herbal and piney notes. Not a hop bomb, rather an IPA on an introductory level, nevertheless absolutely flawless, well balanced and tasty.

Bottle. Cloudy amber beer with a really strong creamy off white head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is well hopped with some toffee and a malty finish. Overall a nice well hopped and bitter beer with malty notes.

20th December 2010 Very hazy amber beer, short lived bubbly off white head. Semi dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Sweetish malt base that ends up with quite a sugary note. The hops are bitter and a little piney, only minor hop fruit. The hops struggle against the sweetness. But overall this is all right.
