[50cl bottle bought in Bushmills.] A bright amber pour with thick cream head; sharp English hop aroma; immediately hoppy taste with a malty caramel body; and strong bitter finish with some slightly stewed hops. A seriously hoppy beer.

Bottle from Garthicus, thanks! Amber color. Pear, hints of citrus and floral hops in both aroma and flavor. Cookies, a just a bit more than moderate but also persisting hopbitterness. Sweetish, fairly well balanced.

Pale brown colour with thin head. Flavour has a strange note of deep fried onions(?) Muted hop notes. Dull.

27/8/2018. Bottle from Kris Wines, Holloway, London. Pours clear bubbly amber colour with a large foamy off-white head. Aroma of hops, fruit, malt, resin, caramel and biscuit. Light to moderate sweetness, heavy bitterness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, average carbonation. Bitter, fruity, hoppy finish. Very nice.

Bottle from M&S Exmouth. Clear deep golden with a creamy off-white head leaving lacework. Resiny hop aroma. Quite light-bodied considering the abv, low in malty sweetness, hops not very fruity but unusually resiny, piney and herbal, leaving an long lasting incredible yet pleasant bitterness on the palate not your usual fruit-bomb IPA but with its very own, bitter-hoppy character.

Bottle at home from M and S, 7th August 18. Pours a copper colour. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus, some caramel. Taste is bitter marmalade, grapefruit, great bitterness, some candied citrus. Lovely bitter IPA, sick of all the insipid NEIPAs at this stage.

A real stone fruit flavour to this beer that to me should be classified as a DIPA. A nice dark colour, a good head and a really chunky mouth feel. I keep coming back to that stone fruit flavour which I thought was fantastic and set it apart from herd of IPAs that are in the market. Vive la difference!
