0,5l bottle from Stonemanor, The British Store near Brussels. F: medium, off-white, quick gone. C: deep gold, clear. A: citrus, bit toast, caramel, grapefruits. T: medium malty base, citrus, caramel, tangerine, nice long lasting bitterness, bit pine resin, dry on the palate, soft carbonation.

(Bottle) Dark amber colour, slightly hazy, with lasting beige head. Malty, fruity, vinous nose with caramel, dried fruit, black-currant, apricot marmalade, treacle toffee and a touch of liquorice. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit, black-currant, pears, resin and a vinous finish with a balanced resiny, citric bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Fairly powerful and vinous, but tasty and quite balanced for its strength. Nice one.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a bit of a copper glow and a fairly thin and relatively fast-dying off-white head, only three centimetres tall at maximum. Aroma of astringent malts, light grain, a dash of flowers, some metal and a hint of alcohol towards the end with some relatively traditional hop scents of pine, grass and earthiness. Medium-bodied; Strong malt bite at first that hits with earth, grain, nuts and flowers with a light funky floral characteristic and some piney and PNW hops with the associated bitterness and alpha acids, akin to a plain East Coast IPA. Aftertaste is dry, floral, grassy and even piney with a good hit of malts, perhaps more of those than the hops with this one. Overall, a relatively straight-forward, 'plain' East Coast IPA (not New England in any sense of the phrase) with an almost West Coast IPA bite (or at least PNW) and bitterness from the hops used, but no fruits, not really any haze and absolutely no 'juiciness' quotient here at all. Nice enough to try, but not anywhere close to what I was expecting from this one. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Manassas, Virginia on 28-April-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-August-2020.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Bottle from Tesco, Ashford, Middlesex or is it Surrey? Pissy stuff.
