Amber coloured body: weak off-white head on my hand pulled pint on 14th March 2012. Hops all the way in this IPA: smell and taste dominated by the Pilgrim and Celeia hops, the bitterness only just controlled by whatever malts are used. This was OK but not one I’d look for again. Mr average in all aspects.

[Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading] Amber with a moderate off-white head and a slight fizz. Sweet with toffee, orange and lemon, although the hop presence is very low. It’s OK, but forgettable. c6
