From old tasting notes. Amber orange color topped by a fine creamy beige head. Soft fruity malt aroma. Faint malt flavor has a brief bitter backdrop. Very peppery and dry.

0.5l bottle as Staffordshire IPA from M&S. Ara of malts and hops, citrus fruits, dates and floral notes. Hazy amber color, no head. Malty and hopy taste, orange and floral notes, less bitter than an average IPA. Light body, oily texture, average carbonation and bitter finish with floral notes. Easy drinking.

50cl bottle as "Marks & Spencer Staffordshire IPA" from M&S, Tallinn. Pours deep golden to amber with a modest, off-white head. Malty aroma with gentle notes of British hops, somewhat fruity and mild citrusy with hints of caramel. Medium to moderate sweet with rather mild flavours and a bitterness on the light side. Fair enough.
