Poured from bottle in the US. The last time I had Greene King IPA, it was cask conditioned in London. When I saw this at my local specialty shop, I couldn’t help but pick it up. This pours a clear dark amber with a thin head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is mostly malty with a very subtle hop character. Taste is very similar to the aroma, slightly bitter. I feel that I’m rating this based on my travel experience, I bought this for $5 for a 16 oz which is pretty expensive, not sure if I’ll purchase again, but I’m glad I did at least once.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of nuts, spices, and citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, spices, and a bit of butterscotch, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

500ml can. Amber, vanishing beige head. Nice if plain aroma of caramel and flowers. Taste is pretty straightforwardly sweet with finishing bitterness and salt. Light bodied. Very slight carbonation. There’s no magic here, but this is an OK bitter - maybe it really suffers in bottles.
