The aroma is light with notes of malt. The color is orange and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is sweet malty with a grassy hoppy finish, though without much bitterness.

Bottled: Golden coloured. Clear. Huge white head. Lasting. Hops and light malt accents in the nose. Metallic, hoppy and malty in the flavour. A bit watery. Lacks bitterness in the end.

Orange body, slightly hazy. Taste reminds me of other Marston's brews I have tasted (Speckled Hen?). I was expecting stronger flavours and a stronger hoppy bite. As an ale, it isn't that bad. As an IPA, for what I know about the genre (i.e. not much), it seems a bit too bland to me.

Amber color, nice creamy head. Aroma is clearly hoppy. Flavor is hoppy as well ,and it turns intosome bitterness. An ordinary ale.

Anber/brown. Small white head. Aroma is watery and skunky with some hinys of toffee. No hops. Watery, dull, skunky and quite sweet. A "gasp" beer in a clear bottle.

Sept 2000 - Can really smell the hops when you crack the cap.. Nice hoppy ale. Kinda pricey though at about $3 for 500mL

A penetrating hoparoma, but not much flavour. An oily palate and some bitterness though.

The bottle and the color(light amber) looks promising. But... Ok, the aroma is overwhelmingly full of hops, almost fills the room. Does not taste very good, reminds me of...rubber.

Orange-amber color. Light hop aroma, a bit fruity. Too poor flavor and palate.

Let's forget about word "India" on its label and rate it as an English Pale Ale. Then it's normal hoppy copper-colored beer, with small head but pretty drinkable.
