Poured from bottle in the US. The last time I had Greene King IPA, it was cask conditioned in London. When I saw this at my local specialty shop, I couldn’t help but pick it up. This pours a clear dark amber with a thin head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is mostly malty with a very subtle hop character. Taste is very similar to the aroma, slightly bitter. I feel that I’m rating this based on my travel experience, I bought this for $5 for a 16 oz which is pretty expensive, not sure if I’ll purchase again, but I’m glad I did at least once.

500ml see-through bottle bought from bestillingsutvalget, Systembolaget.. Firm, off-white head, slowly vanishing over a bright, copper-amber body. Spotty lacework on the glass. Smell of caramel malts along with dry hops. Fine transition from aroma to the flavours of plain bready malts and delicate hops. Smooth and long-lived bitter tail. Should make a great session beer (The Elvis memorial day, Tromsø 08.01.2010).

Flaske 0,5 l fra bestillingsutvalget til Systembolaget. Nydelig utseende: Gyldenbrun og med et høyt luftig skum som varer lenge. Aromaen er veldig humlepreget men også litt karamell. Smaken er avrundet. Ikke spesielt fyldig, men preget av humle og svakt søtlig frukt. Litt fruktig bitterhet i ettersmaken. Nå begynner den å nærme seg en IPA i smaken og tyngden og ikke bare i navnet. KI=6

09/10 0.5 l bottle from the English store in Antibes. It poured copper body with medium sized, slightly off white head. Weak, orange aroma, hoppy. Flavor was orange bitter as well, fine, but simple, with nothing else there except maybe hint of biscuit malt. Also, pretty thin bodied with shorter citrus finish. Was refreshing, but nothing special and easily forgettable.

Pour is a brown out of the clear glass bottle. Aroma is faint with some sweet caramel malts being the stongest thing i can detect. Flavor is much better with lots of earthy malts and a stong bitter hop. Its a decnt beer for a rating and it only cost around $3. If your looking for a hopped out the wazoo west coast IPA you will be dissapointed.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry English style hops with some dry malt. Taste is also quite dry with some noticeable hops with a medium bitter finish. Medium body with OK carbonation. I thought this was a bit too dry and lacking in floral notes.

Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is hops, caramel malts and some mild notes of wood. Flavour is hops, grass, caramel and some slight paperyness. The spicyness grows towards the finish and aftertaste.
