Nov 27, 2009 Cask - The Bull, Horton Kirby. Dark amber in colour with a fine, off-white head, moderately long in duration and a thick, oily glass coating. So rich and full of characters. Resiny, grapefruit hop aromas with notes of tea, caramel, nut and a real earthy kick on the nose. Grapefruit flavours combine with a dry nuttiness, with toffee and thick, sweet malts before finally being cut through by crisp spicy, fruity hops on the finish. Thick and coating on the palate, medium to full in body with slight carbonation and dry, lasting finish. Warming and boozy, the alcohol’s there but not obtrusively so - great on a chilly autumn day.

Dark hazy orange brown color, steady off-white head. Sticky, piney hoppy, yeasty aroma. Glueish hoppy, some pine flavors, sweetish notes. Quite sticky mouthfeel. Almost American, not very English IPA.

Nov 16, 2009 una bella Rossa sormontata da un bel cappello di schiuma compatta!
al palato risulta luppolatissima ma lascia un buon sapore leggermente dolciastro.
sicuramente non è il genere di birra che fa per me,risulta molto estrema,ma almeno una volta bisogna assaggiarla!!!!

Oct 27, 2009 Bottle, April 2008 tasting. British brewed US-style Double IPAs are very rare beasts so perhaps my judgement was a little clouded but I enjoyed this beer immensely. It is imbued with a massive resinous hop character throughout topped off with a rasping, somewhat astringent, gooseberry tart bitterness. There may not be too much else to behold and the bitterness may be a bit harsh but the huge hop rush on its own did the trick very nicely for me. Keep it vup!

Oct 10, 2009 Draught. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Hazy dark amber body. Fruity hoppy aroma. Mild fruity and very hoppy and tasty flavor with a low aftertaste. Grapefruity nutty acidic. Low carbonation.

Sep 30, 2009 Shared at LCRBM09. Hazy, brown-sugary amber color. fruity, malty nose with bits of caramel and chocolate. Light sweetness on a firm caramel-malt structure, then seriously, seriously bitter. Almost balanced. A bit strong and bitter to be useful. but tasty.

Sep 25, 2009 Eccezionale IPA inglese assaggiata alla spina al Macche! La maniera ideale per concludere la serata transtiberina, il locale era completamente vuoto; aroma di luppoli freschissimi, sapore caloroso e buona presenza di amaro però non assassino, ma delizioso. Ottima
