Slightly lively amber beer, white head. Light, malty caramel aroma. Very mellow for the strength. Fruity hop, quite tangy, a dry bitterness cuts through it and lingers a bit. Nothing special, certainly for the strength. Decent though.

Many thanks to Beersiveknown for this bottle! The beer starts fresh and floral. Deep viscous, slightly sweetish with not too much floralness in the sweetish malt. Easy to drink though, moderate bitter in the aftertaste with hints of grain. Nice long but a bit sweetish aftertaste with floral hints.

500mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose brings out English floral hops and bready toffee. Flavour brings out mostly bready notes and toffee, but not a whole lot of hops - just a bit of floral notes. Nice enough but doesn't seem like a double IPA, never mind an IPA. Still, solid.
