Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes malt, metal, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle at Nutty’s house, his night before 40th livener, cheers to the host 05/12/14. Golden amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is caramel malt, biscuit, touch bready, faint hops, light citrics. Taste comprises much the same, malt forward, limited hops, orange pith, sweetish vibes, melon. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. So so, lacks hops, not an IPA at 5% and certainly not with the limited hop profile.

Hazy amber beer, untidty pale cream colour head. Palate is crisp and semi dry. The malt is creamy and dry. Very mild touches of noble hop and citrus. Light dry finish. Wishy washy but inoffensive.

Bottle from SuperValu, Longford [250314]
Dark amber, clear, thin bubbly head that dissipates quickly to nothing, some suspended tiny bubbles
Aroma of caramel, soft pine resins, orangey caramel, very soft citrus, bit of a floral note comes out as it warms up
Taste of caramel, some pine, orangey malts, sweet fruity malts, soft citrus, not bad, quite malty, some citrus but not zesty, hops are dulled, but the malts are nice in this
Palate - Carbonation is a bit flat, medium body, oily texture. Sweet malts, some soft bitter citrus hop. Finish is smooth, some fruity caramel, fairly sweet orange malts, getting some soft bitter zest in the tail now
Overall - Not hoppy enough for an IPA, drinks more like a soft citrus hop bitter. I rate the beer, not the style (unless it’s way off). Certainly above average overall.

Bottle. Clear amber with a thin head. Aroma is light malt. Flavour is light spicy, dull fruity hop on a tangy base. Not bad but a bit dull.

500 mL bottle from SuperValue. I had high hopes and low expectations for this one. Unfortunately, this met the expectations. Clear amber pour into the nonick pint glass. Large white head that stayed put throughout the life of the beer. Weak aroma of cereal, spicy hops, caramel, wet grass, and maybe some floral notes in there. Taste is macro-ish ale, nothing about suggests that it should be labeled an IPA, more of a Bitter or ESB with this level of pronounced malts. Bland finish, watery, too sweet for my liking for an IPA. Poor attempt when the IPA market is flooded by products better crafted than this. Disappointing.
