Bottle. Clear amber color with a average frothy good lacing mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, sweet, moderate hoppy citrus, dry. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration and a nice hoppy dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Good balance beer.

Bottle: clear, amber coloured, small foamy layer; moderate fruity-malty nose with a distinctive touch of herbal (sage !) hops; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour,; sweetish (toasted-) malty finish with a touch of herbal bitterness, again. Not bad, but rather unexciting......

(bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a medium-sized off-white foamy head. Light-sweet toast-malty aroma with lemon-fruity accents and shy but still present hops. Light-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty, fruity taste with light notes of caramel; dry and and quite slim, mild bitter finish with only light notes of aromatic hops. Okay, but also a bit mediocre.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury. I really tried to be open minded with this, but this really is pants. Plasticine hop aroma, that improves somewhat in the mouth, but it lacks flavour. It has the hallmarks of the lower strength IPA, but souped up a bit. Hop bite on end is attractive. Thinnish in mouth. Some rose petal fruit on aroma. Some nutty malt. If it wasn’t for the hop bite on the end, then this would be very dull. I had this with Asahi lager, Badger First Gold and Fullers 1845 and this was the worst of the bunch.

Bottle from Sainsburys Kidlington 18-05-06. Amber coloured, a more interesting and complex beer than the standard IPA and it actually differs quite markedly from the orginal IPA. I thought that this was a reasonable stab but still not as hoppy as I’d like still quite refreshing but possibly a bit sweeter than I expected.
