330ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers!]. Cloudy dark amber to brown colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, fruity hoppy aroma, notes of cherry, strawberry, lingonberry, caramel malty background. Taste is slightly bitter, fruity hoppy, rather sweet caramel malty, notes of cherry, lingonberry, red currant. Rather untypical sort of fruitiness for an IPA, a tendency towards Premium Bitter.
