Cask at the Crown Hotel, Wells Next The Sea. Clear amber, with a small and short lived by bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, modest carbonation. Soft sweet malts, some caramel. Modest ripe citrus fruits, trace of floral fruits. Light semi dry finish. Yeah, not really what most folk would call a session IPA. Don't hate this, not hard to drink but it's priority is malt and not hops.

Can at Black Prince, New Haw. Spotted a new tick hiding behind the fridge door joint. Aroma is perfumed with light citrus and malts. Clear copper. Thin foamy white head. They've been really tight with the hops so there is some bitterness - quinine and citrus - but otherwise it's malty and has hints of boiled veg and butter. Thin Medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Malts and veg SIPA/Golden Ale. Pants.

Fra fat på The Stapleton Tavern (Finsbury): klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Beskjeden aroma (her har de fått lite ut av tørrhumlingen med Galaxy, Centennial og Mosaic), men god smak med grapefrukt og noen tropiske frukter. Kettle: Cascade. Whirlpool: Cascade og Centennial.

Bière bue dans un pub à Londres, Tattersalls tavern, ils venaient de la lancer. Robe dorée, nez malté, légèrement amère mais pas une vraie ipa ni même une session pour moi, pas terrible sans être infecte.
