Sparkly gold and okay foam. Soft sweet grain aroma, nothing else. Taste is soft grain, vague hops, finishes way too wet. Unintrusive, which might work in some situations.

Bottle from Morrisons. Label: Stiff Lip American IPA 5%. Pours a clear golden colour with a thinnish white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and a little peach. Taste has more citrus fruit, just a hint of tropical and peach and a big citrus rind bitterness on the finish. A little added peppery spice. Thinnish body and slightly oily mouthfeel. Bitterness a bit too harsh in my opinion. Just Ok.
