Goldings, Fuggles and American Cascade hops. Crisp, citrus hop aroma. Balanced, bittersweet finish. Strong and very memorable.

Color ambar medio. Aroma citricos, malta y té. Sabor complejo. Primero dulce, luego muy amargo, que persiste en la lengua medio minuto por lo menos. Recuerdos a hierbas y cítricos. Potente. Probablemente canse si no está fría. Pero es buena cerveza.

Clear amber pint with a thin bubbly head and a sour, malty aroma. Flavour is likewise. There’s actually a quite unpleasant sour, bitter, chemical or metallic taste to it. Not enough to completely overwhelm the fruit and hop and render it undrinkable but enough that it’d deter me from going back to it by choice. Which is a shame because I think there’s a nice, refreshing beer lurking in there somewhere.

I found it as "Marston’s Old Empire True India Pale Ale". 100% clear golden beer with fair white head. Quick retention. Very pale aroma. Paper hints. Some bubble gum. Medium to high bitterness and maltiness. Bitter finish. Maybe a bit of hops Sticky texture, full body, moderate carbonation. Well, it’s not IPA for sure and I have no idea why they wrote IPA on the label.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, Preston. Pours clear golden amber, short-lived white head. Aromas are mineral, butter biscuit, faint citrus. Taste is more of the same. Sticky sweet finish. Not great, but slightly better than the last two!
