Brown 500ml bottle, best before Sept 2010, drank mid Sept 2010, whoops! Poured into a UK pint sleeve: the beer was a muddy, dirty brown with a slight haze (might have been too cold). On top sat an off-white head, thin but with staying power. The beer is blended with Whisky and uses Pale, Crystal and Amber malts. Hops are Fuggles, Progress and Styrian Goldings. The smell was weak and thin, some hints of hops, but no whisky for my nose. The taste was weak and thin, some hints of hops, but no whisky for my mouth. The body was weak and thin, are you getting the message?

50 cl bottle. Rated on 24.10.2008
Aroma has lots of alcohol and some solvent too with toffee and malt. Flavour has lots of stinging alcohol, some sweet malt and toffee. Way too much alcohol here.

Warning! Early amateur rating! A fairly mild and somewhat watery IPA - a bit too Green King like.

Bottled (BB 08/2010)
Clear amber color, small white head. Caramelly, pale malty, a bit citrus hoppy and grainy nose. Medium-bodied, reasonably good for this abv. A bit sweetish, citrusy hoppy, pale malty flavor. Nothing special but amazingly tasty for being just 3.8%.
