Had@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Pale copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is glue, catpissy hops with some mild floral, nectary and fruity hops as well. Flavour is mild acidic bitterness with some mild spicy and sweet maltyness. Balanced, and actually quite pleasant.

@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Deep ambery golden colour with a small head. Aroma and flavour are both rather fruity and floral hops along with some nectary, crisp malty notes and mild notes of syrup as well. Rather sweet and sticky, but otherwise nice IPA.

Bottle at GBBF 2011, Day 1, shared with Ken and Paul. Pours cloudy, yellow-gold with a moderate, white head. Some grain in the nose, mild sugar. Flavor is slightly floral and herbal with some doughy sweetness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild, toasty grain finish, a bit of plain sugar. Nothing too wrong in this one.
