GBBF Day 1. Bottle. Late 90s bottle. Clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate is smooth and dry and has an amazing amount of carbonation. Tangy malts and tangy fruits. Almost sour citric peel. Mildly disty caramel malts. Light finish. Very old but lively and flavoursome.

Old ass bottle thanks to Dan. It pours clear brown with a small white head. The earthy, musty, sweat, leather, spice, oxidised vibe and burnt toffee. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, tart, tangy, brown bread, stewed black tea, tannin, spice and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Old, bit not terrible.

A good example of what IPA's have become in their homeland. Needs more hops to be a good IPA. Having said that, this was a good beer in it's own right. Retired Eh?? No wonder I haven't seen it in a while ;-)
