Can at and thanks to James, 26/03/16. Rich orange marmalade hues topped with a well appointed light beige covering. Nose is burnt toffee, bitter orange, toasted bread, red grapefruit, faint herbal notes. Taste comprises tangerine, orange pith, light smokey vibes, trace of pine, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi aggressive hop bitterness in the close. Ok IPA, kind of earthy dirty feel to but not so bad.

A nice easy-drinking session IPA. Can chug it back and relax. Mangoes, clementines and orange peel. Thanks Matt.

330ml bottle drink-in at Sourced Market St Pancras. Pours a dark golden body with a solid white head leaving spotty lacing down the glass. Ripe lemon on the nose. Bread, orange, and lemon fruitiness to the taste buds. Lightly tart on the ending. Medium bodied. Unusual kind of an IPA. Satisfying (London 20.02.2015).

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nice lacing looks great. Nose - pine, geranium, tomato stalks. Taste - more tomato stalk, aloe vera, bay leaf. Palate - light to medium bodied with a dry middle section that runs into a long dry bitter finish. Very persistent. Overall - it’s gnarly as hel, but in battling with that there is satisfaction to be had.

330ml bottle from Sourced Market St. Pancras. Pours lovely clear pale gold, thine white head. Aromas of tomato stalk, blue cheese, light lemon. Taste is lots of green leaf notes, like chewing bay leaf, bitter and bone dry. Chewy and challenging, but nice.

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey, deep golden colour with average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Like their "Pale", this comes with typical English character, green-ish, unripe fruity, hoppy, gooseberry notes. A minimally doughy, pale malty basis absorbs some hop off-flavours, producing a more balanced and harmonious, though still weak, flat and boring, mildly grassy, kind of hop-raping result.

The Three Johns. Keg. Lightly hazy gold - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly crisp. Light sweetish pale malts, just a whisper of grain. Decent hops bring fresh orange and lesser tangerine. Mild floralness. Comes together well in to a light crisp finish. Decently hop fruity.
