The epitome of Victorian epoch legendary style, created for East Indian colonies to endure long sea journeys from Britain, moderately strong ale with significant hop aroma and bitterness.

Bottle, tasting at Appellation Wines. Hazy golden body with a massive off-white head. Great lacing. Aroma of grass, green apple and Lager. Flavour of biscuit and white bread. Medium body with an oily texture. Very faint carbonation. Dull and not hoppy enough for an IPA.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Alexey and Refaela’s place. Thanks Stas. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of grains and stale hops, a bit fruity. Flavor has some sweetish malt, a bit of fruitiness, stale hops and mild to moderate bitterness. Medium-bodied.

Caramel, lollipop sweetness, tart fruits, grainy, grassy. Sweet, light fruit, kinda burnt cooking oil or over roasted peanut bitterness, something lagerish to it. So, so.
