Bottle at home from Offie and Toffee. It looked terrible in the glass; so turgid that it looked like it was off. It tasted fine and I think it is an English take on a New England IPA and all the better for it. There was good bitterness, balancing malt and no crazy levels of hopping in what was the best NEIPA for a very long time. And it didn't taste like pine toilet cleaner which was a bonus.

1/3 pint draft @ Howling Hops. Orange, col fin blanc. Arôme sur un nez de suite rappelant le butetry/levure, fruité reste trop en retrait avec un léger côté bubble gum des houblons. Diacetyl? Petite impression de rétro tirant sur le caramel brûlé, biscuité et léger grains. Palais avec un caractère anglais surtout au niveau du malt. Retrouve cette sensation de levure qui met le profil un peu 'off' avec un caractère de beurre qui est un peu bizarre pour un style NEIPA. Le serveur dit que la bière est déjà depuis 3 semaines en tank. WLP005 yeast apparemment, anglais, donnant un possible aspect ester-pomme? Alcool semble plus percer sur la fin.

Tap. Murky yellow color with no head. Aroma is grassy, yeast, and not much more. Taste is mealy, light grass, biscuits. Watery mouthfeel. Quite weird, and too light. Somehow not for me.

Bottle at home in Havkney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours hazy, deep orange with a creamy, off-white head. The aroma holds ripened citrus fruits, piney hops, rich bready malts. Medium sweet flavour with moderate gooey citrus notes, some ripe orange, tangerine, a bit of mango, mellow bitter pine, ample bready sugars, a whisper of caramel. Medium to full bodied with average, lightly massaging carbonation. Finishes with a bit of boozy warmth, resinous pine, more bready pale malts, chewy citrus fruits. Its pretty good stuff, in a 2013/14 kind of way. Definitely a bit more rounded and malty than most of the hop gear coming out these days. But in its way, it is solid.

Bottle at home split with JmgreenUK, 19/05/17. Murky orange amber with a light beige cap that soon dissipates ... no looker. Nose is pine, papaya, melon, straw, orange pith. Taste comprises bitter orange, pine, straw, light spice, grapefruit, soft breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with semi aggressive earthy hop bitterness. Decent.
