Bottle from Cotteridge, Birmingham, Friday 19th June 2015 consumed at home Sunday 21st June (Summer Solstice) Warm gold in colour with a filmy white head, slight haze otherwise pretty good clarity. A tropical edge to the nose, also tropical tasting with a little pineapple and mango in the mouth, not overly tropical mind, a jolly good beer but easily bettered in my opinion. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Bottle. Creamy White good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. MOderate malty and heavy hoppy aromka. Heavy bitter flavor. Average heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate.

From 500ml bottle: very floral and citrus nose. Excellent flavour balance with a decent punch of resiny fruit notes/. I could certainly spend an evening on this.

Bottle, 6.8% ABV. Dark brown with a large beige head. Pleasant but slightly subdued aroma with citrus, some chocolate and roast, nectarines and pine. Medium bodied, moderate to high carbonation. Lots of citrus and some Sichuan pepper and licorice, peach, a little roast and cocoa - enough to make it clear that it’s not coloured black, not a lot more. Pretty good but not as vibrant as I’d hoped.

Flaska från Craftbeer/Galatea via SBs privatimport. En karamellig, lätt kådig pale ale med IPA kvalitéer i både kropp och humling. Mycket kolaremmar. Humlen är inte superfärsk men fortfarande fräsch med fina granskott och citrussmaker. Riktigt snygg och välbalanserad.

22 oz bottle brought and shared at a tasting. Thanks Dad for picking this one up for me. Pours a clear copper color with a big bubbly head. Slightly stale hop, grassy aroma. Nice hop forward flavor. Soft lemon throughout. Very English IPA like in my opinion. Good citrus character. Overall, a decent IPA.

From a 500ml bottle on 13/5/2015. Pours a dark clear golden with a biggish head. The nose is fruity, malty and a touch metallic. Flavour wise, you get caramel malt, sweet citrus fruit, and a firm hop bitterness. Light bodied with relatively lively carbonation. Very flavoursome for 4.7% but there’s something about it that doesn’t quite hit the spot. Pretty good but curiously not overly sessionable.
