Unfiltered 7,0% abv, bottle.
Super cloudy golden coloured body with almost no head at all to speak of - even when poured with force. Aroma of fresh grassy, perfumey hops, sweet grapes, VERY strong yeast and a bunch of unprocessed wort. Medium-bodied; Still tasting hops up front with some unbalanced malt, a bit on the bitter side. Aftertaste shows a light sweetness, more grassy notes, hops and the ever-present yeast. Strong grassy nuttiness on the backend and a good hop bitterness. Overall, a pretty interesting and grassy IPA, but the lack of carbonation was surely noticeable. This tasted like it could have been pulled from a cask a few minutes before me drinking it, aside from me being back on the other side of the pond, and for it being around 5 degrees centigrade. I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased from the Utobeer Market Stall in Borough (London), England on 13-December-2008, sampled at home in Washington on 02-March-2009.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 09. Very roasted toasty dark bitter. Some English yeast on it. It’s reasonably tasty. Unusual to have such a dark bitter. Fine
