341ml Bottle: Pours golden in colour with a thick head that stayed with me to the end. Plenty of artificial carbonation flowing upwards. Aroma of butter, hops, and malts; intriguing. Taste is quite nice, actually. Lots of rich malts on the first sip, makes way to a nice soft bitterness with floral tones from the hops. Excellent balance, and far superior to the phony arse Alex Keith stuff. Surprising, but sadly I found myself quite bloated due to the fake carbonation. Otherwise a very good pick.

Draught @ Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. Bedfordshire England S3 8GG.
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, moderate hoppy, peppery. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, and a peppery finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (270708)

Its really hard to rate this beer because it did taste good, but tasted more like a lager than an IPA? I was kind of confused. As a lager I would rate it higher but as an IPA I probably should have rated it lower. I do not taste the hopiness that characterize a good IPA.

Bottle. Nearly odorless. Big foamy white head. Strange flavors for an IPA...kinda malty, sharp carbonation, strange bitter finish. I would never identify this as IPA, and I wouldn’t buy it again.

Bottle. Pours golden with a steady white head, grassy aroma with caramel. I taste sweetness in the malt, caramel, light hop bitterness, with wateriness. Mouthfeel is watery also.

Fairly light and crisp. I’m not sure I’d call it an IPA, but I quite liked this one. Very drinkable and clean tasting. I could drink a lot of these in one session.
