0.473l can from Beer Republic. Aroma is citrusy, grassy, floral, honeyish and buttery. Pours cloudy amber color with large soapy off-white head, great lacing and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing dried fruity with solid toasted maltiness, following is grassy and honeyish, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Don’t like the aroma, while taste is much better…

473ml can. Cloudy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with average, firm, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Weak, fruity and leafy, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish, minimally toasty, caramel malty background, hints of tea, peach, some mandarine, berries, weak toffee undertones. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty with a minimalyl toasty touch, and fruity, slightly leafy hoppy, notes of red berries, peach, tea, a touch of peach ice tea, very weak toffee undertones; minimally mineral finish.
Slightly creamy and oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium to fine, dense, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Quite English indeed, fine, genuine, balanced - very nice.

Delicious throwback IPA (like to the early Nineteenth Century), balanced between firm notes of biscuit malt hinted with caramel and lovely pine-and-citrus hops. Beautifully symmetrical. Just a great pint.
