Crystal clear red copper beer under a small cream-coloured head. Fine hops, hint at diacetyl, maltsyrup. Very British. Bitterish to bitter, again good UK hops, herbs, fresh spinach. Diacetyl masked in the flavour. Light body, if reasonably slick; very bitterish, almost metallic aftertaste; medium carbonation. Convincing, and not half bad. Making the umpteenth DIPA must become boring for an English brewery, no? Txs to Stef!
