Cask, handpump at The Highwayman, Kidlington, Oxon, whilst Morris Dancing at the pub 11.07.11 Pours brown with good clarity and an off white head. Fruity in the mouth with middling bitterness, and a fruity tang also noted. It’s ok and perfectly acceptable but not an exciting beer. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask at Ryries Bar, Edinburgh. Pours amber with a decent head and no bubbles. The nose has toffee and malt - can’t detect much in the way of hops. The taste has toffee and malt. The palate is medium in structure and texture with an overhanging malt finish that just doesn’t refresh at all. Overall, this is too malty for IPA and where are the hops?

Cask @ The Crown Rivers, Heathrow Airport, London
Pours orange with a nice solid foamy head. Mild aroma has notes of yeast and spices. Taste is quite soft with some notes of bitterness and spices. Smooth finish, enjoyable, but nothing special.

Pours brownish orange, murky with a foamy head. Aroma is quite mild with notes of fruits. Taste is soft and has hints of banana and malts. Smooth, slightly bitter finish. Not very balanced and doesn’t really taste like an IPA.

Red brown colour. Flavour is predominantly bitter with a little bittersweetness coming from the strong flavoured malts. General lack of hoppiness is the critical failure of this IPA.
