Bottle. Color: Very slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Hoppy, citrus fruit, some lemon. Taste: A lot of hop, citrus fruit (orange, grapefruit, lemon). Over moderate to medium bitterness. Light sweetness. Medium body, just above average carbonation. Ok but a bit one-dimensional.

clear yellow, large solid creamy white head, head looks strange, artificial, rubbery - but nice enough.
flowery , measured hoppy notes, malty note, not sweet, not crisp, tiny bit bready. aroma is along the line of uk ipa's.
flavor is flowery hops, good hoppy bitterness into the end, neutral malts, flowery and hoppy herbal, very traditional UK ipa flavor, but a bit more powerful than normal. quite drinkable, no flaws, pretty solid very british pub IPA.

From a 500ml bottle on 7/1/2025. Pours like a macro lager - super clear lightish golden with a smallish head. The nose is lightly fruity with some lemony notes. The taste is fairly straight forward with lots of lemon and grapefruit. Finishes quite firmly, with more grapefruit, and some resin and pine. Fullish bodied with average carbonation. misnamed a double IPA, and there's no evidence of the promised bottle conditioned sediment. All up, a bit perfunctory, a touch rough, and not much more than a bare pass.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a small, white head. Discreet but pleasant citrus aroma. Medium body, plenty of fruitiness and a solid finishing bitterness. Good for a British IPA. 141125

Spotty off white head on an unclear golden coloured body.
Bright fresh hops, grapefruit, blueberry & floral tastes with a bitter finish.
That's a great Ale.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas e frutta tropicale.
