From a 330ml bottle 24/6/2013. Pours a clear golden with a very small head. Has a slightly odd basement aroma. The flavour kicks off with some sweet fruitiness and some grassy malt, which is quickly overtaken by an assertive bitterness, featuring some grapefruit and chemicals. The body and carbonation are medium. The blurb suggests this is intended to be and English style IPA, but I wouldn’t necessarily pick it. Certainly not boring, but it’s a little harsh and unbalanced to be really enjoyable. Not the best Birbeck’s.
