3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask @ The Cumberland Bar, Edinburgh. Light golden coloured, off-white head. Aroma is light hoppy, bit of lemon. Flavour is lihgt malty, lemonade and a bit of citrus. Fairly sweet.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Really safe hop notes, almost Lucozade style stagnant bubbles in a hefty carbonation. Almost cream soda wrapped hops, awkward for an IPA even at 5%. Nothing shining through from any angle on the palate. Frustrating safe rather than disappointing number.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours nice clear golden amber. Not much head. White with fairly large bubbles. Nice caramel aroma with a little bit of citrus. Medium bitter taste with very little sweetness. Light body with a thin texture and a bit of carbonation. Average lenght of finish with bitter notes. The hops are not coming through in a proper way though. Fairly average.

Aroma of sweetish malts, mild fruits, especially apricot, some grass also. Flavour is pretty much the same.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Amber with white head. Nice nose. Hoppy bitter brew. Less hoppy than I would ideally want.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma: Usual IPA smell, though not very strong. Grassy and some biscuit notes.
Appearance: Dark orange, clear. Very little carbonation. Small white head.
Taste: A cross between a lager and a traditional IPA. At 5%, a slightly lower alcohol content than normal. Very drinkable, though I prefer a more flavoursome IPA.
Palate: Thin mouthfeel - again, more like lager than an IPA.
Overall: A pretty good, if rather confused, beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Gold orange with a nice head. Malty citrus aroma. Some sweetness. Not Bad.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Yespr’s - Thanks. Clear amber - white head. Nice hoppy, chocolate, fruity, medium malty, light bitterness, old lazy hops, light fruity, toasted.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Yellow and slightly cloudy.Poured with a small head, Some bitterness and a trace of fruitiness. Lacking in hops which made it a dissapointing experience. Perhaps those West Coast IPA’s have spoilt me but this was a bit of an anti climax.
