Pours a clear copper color with white head. Aroma has the typical heavy hops appeal of IPAs. Taste has a bit more malt to it that I had anticipated. I think most IPA lovers would say that this beer is a little flat and without any distinct character. However I enjoyed the smooth and bland flavor accompanied with a medium body and could drink this one all night w/o complaint.

Clear bottle. Thank god it wasnt more skunky than it was. Pours clearish gold with small white head. Nose is devoid of hops or anything else for that matter. Malt, honey, vanilla, and hops join the party in the flavor, and it was just a little skunked. Musty dry finish without any hop bite. Perfectly boring in every way.

Bottle. Of all of the Sleeman beers, this is the least bad. Poured a clear orange with a two finger whitish head. Aroma of malt, pepper and some grassy hops. Flavor was sweet malt and a bitter finish.

<b>Draught @ Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. Bedfordshire England S3 8GG.</b><br />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.

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.
