Bottle at home in London. Pours lightly cloudy gold, effervescent, with a frothy white head. Pale bready malt nose, some sharp hay. Light sweet flavour with dry bread, bitter hay, light dirty grass. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Dry finish with fairly strong grassy bitterness. A bit over carbonated and a touch too bitter. OK overall.

Keg at the brewpub, London. Pours cloudy gold with a fine, white cream head. Nose holds some floral hops, dry grapefruit, orange and melon, some dry grass. Light to medium sweet with lightly biscuity pale malts, dry grass and light pine, more dry and lightly zesty citrus fruits. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry and resinous to finish with a good dose of pine needles and grapefruit, some tangerine, crisp grass. Very solid IPA, very drinkable. Much better than the last few single hop IPAs I’ve had from London Fields, although the last few have been made with some rather obscure hop varietals that may or may not lend themselves well to a single hop IPA. Anyway, this one is very good.

Bottle at home in London. Pours hazy auburn with a small, white froth for a head. Aroma holds some lightly toasted dough, socks, toasted grass and dirt. Light to medium sweet flavor with dirty grass bitterness, burnt leaves, dry minerals, gritty earth, some orange peel. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Earthy bitterness to finish with some sturdy, gritty grass, more citrus peel, toasted leaves, light sweetness, mild herbs. Like some of the other London Fields IPAs, this one too has a bit too much bitterness in the finish, to the point where it’s almost abrasive. So so.

Bottle at home in London. Pours a lightly foggy, bright gold with a small, foamy white head that settles into a creamy film. Nose holds some plastic grass, berries, toasted straw and very light notes of dry caramel. Has a fairly interesting flavor. Medium sweet with lightly toasted pale malts, dry grass, orange peel, dirt, a bit of gravel, some hints of fruity sugars. Light to medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. The bitterness in the finish seems a bit harsh, all dried grass, pine needles and citrus peel. There’s also an astringent note in here that doesn’t really thrill me. This is my first beer of the evening and sometimes my first beer of the day seems overly bitter, so I’ll give this beer the benefit of the doubt; aside from the aftertaste I enjoyed this guy.

Bottle at home in London. Pours lightly hazy, orange-gold with a large, frothy white head. Aroma holds some lightly toasted, bready malts, hints of semi-ripe orange, some flinty minerals. Light to medium sweet flavor with some toasted grass, plastic, dry orange, grapefruit, toasted leaves, some background bread. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Moderately bitter finish, more grass and leaves, light dirt, some orange rind, grapefruit rind, some herbs, mild sweetness. I can’t say I’m blown away by this beer, but it’s decent overall.

Bottle at home in London. Pours lightly hazy, rich gold with a strong, white foam head. Bready, lightly toasted malt aroma, some hints of ripe citrus and wood. Light to medium sweet flavor, some toasted grass, light bread, hints of plastic, dry berries. Medium bodied with average, massaging carbonation. Fairly dry to finish, a bit of dirty grass, a bit more of this plastic character, toasted malts. Meh. Nothing here really gets my juices flowing. Just OK.

Bottle from the Brewery. It pours deep golden with a medium white head. The nose is grass, touch of farmyard, hopsack, touch of spice and some sweetness. The taste is wood, bitter grass, some spice, straw and a hint of citrus, with a very dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent.

Bottle from the brewery. It pours hazy amber with a medium white head. The nose is dough, spice, grass and sweet pale malt. The taste is bitter grass, intense spice, dough, earth and pine with a very dry, spicy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Flavour is pretty intense, but the hop is not to my liking. Not actually that drinkable.
