3.6% alk. Ni pod kojim slučajom ne spada u red IPA-e... Tako da vas ne zavara ovaj naziv. Ovo je bitter, iako mi ne spada ni tu. Bezukusno pivo bez ičega dobroga u sebi.

Clear amber colour, thin white head. Aroma: malty, caramel, fruity, slightly skunky. Taste: sweet malt, fruity, caramel, mild bitter finish, missing hops? Body is light, moderate carbonation. Well, very boring. Worst IPA I’ve ever had; seriously lacking in the hop department, no definition of IPA would fit this beer. Poor effort.

0.5l bottle. Malty aroma, caramel notes. Light hazy amber color, white head. Malty taste, caramel, light to medium bitter. Light body, thin texture, average carbonation and malty, light bitter finish with caramel notes. Definitely not an IPA, can´t find any hops traces, probably the reason to be listed here as a bitter. Poor.

Half pint at The Nicholas Culpeper, Gatwick North Terminal. Pours sparkling (even bubbly) amber to orange. Off-white head is scarce and lasts a blink. Aroma is very low: poor leather, horse blanket, pork lard... On the good side there’s honey, rosemary and caramel. Mouthfeel is soft, watery, light, dry, fresh, low-carb. Abrupt finish. Not my cup’o’tea.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear copper pour with one finger off-white head, quickly diminishing. Little to no lacing. Faint nose, undefined, a bit grainy, a bit cardboard, slightly herbal. Thin body with high carbonation. Regular texture. Moderately bitter taste. Aroma is faint and generic. A bit grainy, traces of hops. Cardboard. Slightly grassy and herbal. Wood notes. Mostly bland and unimpressive. Watery and thin - small wonder considering the amazingly low ABV. Overall, meh. Drinkable, but pointless. Boring effort.
