Bottle. Poured hazy brown with slight white head. Not a lot of aroma - slightly sweet. Medium body and carbonation. Flavour is very sweet, slightly fruity with no bitterness.Overall - disappointing - not quite sugar water, but close.

Bottled (from bierzwerg). Something between amber and copper colour with a mediumsized creamy slightly off-white head. Aroma is sweet and bready malt with some mild floral notes. Flavour is quite similar with some slight cardboardy and herbal/hayish notes. Not all thay much hops in this one...

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear brown-golden colour, no head. Fizzy palate, like a soft drink, sweetish malty flavours dominate, very shy hoppy touch. Rfresehing it is, but it feels more like a malty lemonade.

Attractive 33cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Copper with a loose, fast fading, cream head; aroma of stewed malts; incredibly thin with some weak caramel, and a predominantly cardboard finish with some stale hops. A disappointment.

From a 330ml bottle on 23/11/2010. Pours amber and exhibits the faintest of fruit aromas. It’s thin and watery in the mouth, and has very low carbonation. There is a tiny bit of sweet malt and dark fruit flavour evident. Despite it carrying the words’ India Pale Ale’, there’s nary a hop to be detected. A bland, weak beer.

[I wasn’t expecting an IPA, so no confounding of expectations are in this note.] Attractively labelled bottle. Clear brown with a creamy beige head that fades a bit. Medium bead. Grain and light caramel aroma with a very little grass. Very watery. Slight caramel taste. Sweet grainy finish. Poor.

Pours dark amber with a quickly fading head.Nose shows dirty malt with lots of vegetal notes and a fair whack of caramel. Faint resinous note.Flavours aren’t so bad, showing caramel amber malt. Unfortunately some of the vegetal notes are still present.Pretty light body, carbonation is too high.

Bottle from Meidi-ya in Japan. Dark amber to medium brown color. Reddish tint. Little head, quickly turns to a bit of lacing. Malty aroma, slightly fruity, caramel. Not much hops in the nose. Light flavor. Malty with lots of caramel, quite sweet. Almost no hops present. Sweet, malty finish. This is not a proper IPA. It isn’t a terrible beer, quite drinkable really, but rather tasteless, like mass-produced pale ale. Too sweet, not complex, not near enough hops.
