Bottle from M&S, Brooklands. Low key citrus aroma. Hazy amber. Creamy white head. Medium bitter which then gains in strenght. Citrus, quinine and malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Not bad. Just not sure how long it was sat on the shelf for.

Several bottles over a long camping trip. Pours an unclear, dull, yellow color, with a medium sized, frothy, off-white head. The aroma is resin, caramel, pine, and chalk. Sweet and sticky, with a mild bitterness. Medium body, with a syrupy, sticky, and hard palate. This is a dank IPA. Reasonably tasty.

Bottle from beer cave near Eugene. Old hop flavours and a decent IPA. Not so fruity.
