Bottle from M&S, Den Haag. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is hop malt. The flavour is medium bitter with a nice smooth malt hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A fine session ale if served at the right temperature.

Bottle at home, 16/01/14 from M&S Waterloo to get change for my taxi really ! As M&S Staffordshire IPA. Pours a clear rich golden amber with a big old off white head, this indeed looks the bollocks and I imagine is the highlight of this beery show! Nose is bitter orange, light soap, citric sherbets, mineral notes, earthy hops, caramel strains. Taste comprises bitter orange, earthy hops, straw, light caramel malts. Medium bodied, fine to soft carbonation, subtle bitterness in the finish. Surprised at the low rates for this one, there’s really nothing wrong with it, perhaps the M&S bottled version holds up better to badly kept cask servings?!? ESB I’m not so sure, IPA clearly not, golden blonde - a little too high for the ABV, English Pale perhaps?
