Sampled from bottle. Hazy orange color, huge off-white, a bit soapy head that lasts for a long time. Aroma is malts and lightly hops. Taste malts, lightly hops, decently bitter, a slight touch of fruit peel. Decent body and carbonation.

Bottle - Sweet overripe fruit. Cloudy copper with a decent beige head. Dusty hops and a fruity sweetness and a bitter finish. Odd all around but fun.

Bottle at home from the brewery shared with Sarah. Aroma is nice hedgerow fruits, strawberries, toasted malts, light caramel and ligh english yeast esters. Clearish reddish amber coloured pour with a large rocky off white head. Palate has very high aggressive carbonation that attacks the tongue then leaves it wanting. Flavour is composed of nice strawberry and raisin fruits with some marmelade on toasted malts. Solid earthy hedgerow bitterness. Finishes dry with semi-sweet Intesting beer, lacks ummph.

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Cov Garden, 12/05/14. Hazed reddish amber with a moderate light beige covering that stays for the show. Nose is bitter orange, caramac bar, pink grapefruit, straw, sweetish vibes, earthy tones. Taste carries a big mineral blast, mango, grapefruit, earthy hops, light spice, caramel malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with hop bitterness. Decent enough IPA, a little sweet in places but the big mineral presence worked well to balance this out.

Bottle picked up at Bullfinch/Anspach, Saturday 26th April 2014 consumed at Cabbage Moors campsite, Great Shefford, Cambridge Sunday 27th April 2014 Pours deep amber with mid sized off-white head. Hoppy but quite earthy quite trad’ bitter like on nose but punchier, some citrus. Taste is bitter, good hoppiness throughout not as cultured or fancy as something similar with US or NZ hops but the East Kent Goldings and Fuggles can do a damn good job when used in copius quantities, they are assertive, perhaps a little harsh/rough but really define this beer. A little toffee at the edges but there is a citrussy edge or should that be citrussy hedge :-) Love this. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery. Pours clear, amber-gold, highly effervescent with a large, billowing light tan foam head. Lots of ripe fruits in the nose, berries, some bread, toasted caramel, prunes. Medium sweet flavor with ripened and lightly dried out fruits, especially berries, some currants, dry toffee, bitter earth and pine, toasted bread. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Lots of sticky sugars and resinous hops to finish, with further piney bitterness in addition to some crunchy leaves, more dried berries and bready malt backbone. Fairly tasty stuff though certainly not and American style IPA. This is sort of like the love child of an English Strong Ale and an IPA. Not bad.

Hazy deep amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Palate is fairly dry with fine carbonation. Starts with a pronounced creamy malt sweetness, nice light caramel underneath. Touch of ripe orange before a pretty robust bitterness kicks in. There is a light floral note and a whisper of well buried apricot but it’s mostly bitterness, bordering harsh. Finishes smooth with a very strong bitter linger. Interesting experiment. The sweet creamy malt is well judged and keeps the beer drinkable and that sharp bitterness in check. Nicely thought out!

33cl bottle from the brewery and drunk at home. Clear deep amber colour with a lasting beige head. Malty toffee sweet aroma. It’s labelled an Imperial London Bitter. It’s very sweet on the aroma. Quite hoppy on the finish mind you. It’s pushing the limit of an ESB for the ABV, but I’d go with ESB. It’s not a million miles from Fullers ESB except for being a bit sweeter and more caramel/fudge led. Decent. Bit too sweet for me. My hands are covered in fresh Basil though. I liked it. Poised. The bitterness on the finish doesn’t let the sweetness wander all over the place. Yep, I liked it.

At the brewery. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is wood, earthy, caramel, raisin and candy. The taste is caramel, woody, light fruitiness, decent bitterness, resin and earth. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent enough, but the other Bermondsey breweries do this style better.
