Bottle at home while watching the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Poured very nicely and a good head in the tankard. A nose and flavour of bitter hops, but a stunning mouthfeel to the beer. It was as smooth as velvet and not at all what I was expecting. The taste was of a typical English IPA; bitter hops balanced with the malt, but I keep coming back to the mouthfeel. I nearly spat some out when Vettel crashed into Hamilton, but luckily that sacrilege was avoided.

Far too much crystal. Ruined the experience for me. Very doughy. Lots of Rye malt. Why the crystal?
