chriso (7065) - London, - JUL 26, 2011
500ml bottle. Bright amber colour. Loose white head. More of a hoppy bitter than a true IPA of course but pleasant and tasty. Clean, firm mouthfeel. Quite citric hop character.

TheCametron (802) - SCOTLAND - MAY 29, 2012
Bottle. Clear golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma is a real treat. Sherbet strawberries on a backdrop of malt. Flavour is also surprisingly good. The hops are floral and the malt takes a back seat. A nice dry finish. This beer was far nicer than you might expect from a supermarket own brand.

bdunhill (139) - Brussels, BELGIUM - MAY 27, 2012
This IPA has a sweet aroma that exudes the freshness of barley and wheat, and pours with a nice clear colour. It has ample flavour with a short but concise after taste. Simple but yet enjoyable beer for the price.

hoju777 (48) - FRANCE - MAY 23, 2012
Bottle from train station. No smell. Lots of yeast in my glass. There’s enough bubbles to keep my yeast globs circulating. Hoppy to start but then watery and cheap tasting at the end.

DnAuK (53) - South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - APR 29, 2012
M&S branded IPA from the makers of Proper Job. Honey and citrus in both aroma and taste. The latter finishing with powerful and refreshing hop bitterness. Very nice indeed. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

mile (1459) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 17, 2012
Bottle. Golden, small to average and mostly diminishing head. Light to moderate malty and fruity sweetish aroma, light toffee and some floral - citrus citrus hoppyness. Body medium, malty and sweetish flavor, lots of fruitiness and some caramel, some citrus hoppyness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, fruitiness with light caramel, citrus hoppyness. Nicely hopped and fruity golden ale - could be drier and have less caramel, though.

Cuso (1777) - Bratislava, SLOVAK REPUBLIC - FEB 12, 2012
Bottle from M&S Bratislava. Golden color with huge white head, almost crushing from my glass. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, pine, floral hops. Taste, grapefruit bitter, with hints of apricots, lychee, peaches, coriander, pine. Bitter finish, with hints of pine. Surprisingly good IPA.

500ml. Aroma - citrus, slight floral, possible hint of strawberry? Appearance - Slight haze, golden body. Taste - Medium, a tad bitter. Soft palate with a smooth finish that doesn’t linger too long. A really tasty number!

dogbomb (291) - ENGLAND - JAN 16, 2012
Pours a weak amber with a decent, but fleeting white head. Nose is sweet caramel with a hint of hay. Sweet and bitter on the tongue with toffee notes, grass and some sweet cereal matinees. Pleasant, but lacking a bit of magic.
