Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the local Sainsbury’s. Pours clear copper-gold with a creamy, off-white topping. Lightly sweet with notes of sun-baked malts, grass, crispy pine, dirty hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Bitter finish, light dried resin, more grassy hops, sun-kissed malts. Very decent old-school IPA.

500ml bottle. Pale copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of red berries, caramel and root ginger in the background. Flavour had more caramel upfront with a hint of strawberry sweetness and some vanilla oak. The ginger again came through with some late in the day spicy warmth before a moderately bitter finish. An interesting and subtle use of ginger.
