Bottle at home. Aroma is soft hops, mild sweetish pale malt, touch of candied fruits and some slight herbal notes. Flavour is light sweet and a bit harshly bitter. Body is medium. Certainly drinkable but a bit unbalanced and messy. Calling this an English IPA is appropriate, but mentioning American hops suggests a crisp fruitiness that just isn’t to be found in this beer.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy orange colored brew with an crazy dry bitter taste, dishwater lemon like hints. Could be better this brew, very unbalanced.
