Flaska inköpt i Dublin. Rubinröd färg med tunn skumslöja. Here we go again - Brittisk ale. Kakig doft. Lätt fruktig smak med karamellig sötma och fudgekola. Blunda och ta en zip. Svårt att särskilja från generisk engelsk bitter, mild, ESB, you name it. If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all, typ. Glömde nästan att tillägga att den är vattnig, mycket vattnig.

Cobriza de un dedo de espuma. Nebulosa. Aspecto de té con mínima espuma. Rico aroma malteado. Lo mejor en boca, donde presenta con erto equilibrio, rica malta muy acaramelada y lupulo citrico con punto de amargor contenido para una IPA pero evidente. Sabrosa. Final con recuerdo de uva.

Bottle at home in London - picked up from Kris Wines. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy white head. The nose gives off a bit of butyric acid, stomach bile, ripe berries. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bready malts, some baby vomit, piney bitterness, more bile, grains. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Unpleasant on the finish, with prominent butyric acid off notes, more bile and puke, with undertones of orange and ripe berries and bread. Wow, this is pretty awful. Never encountered butyric acid in an IPA. One of the worst IPAs I have ever had. Very difficult to drink

Clear medium to deep amber colour, small frothy beige head, diminishes slowly, good lacing. Sweet malt aroma, slightly toasted, caramel, brown sugar, some citrus. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, caramel, bit sugary. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste medium bitter, dry malt, fruity notes, not an IPA more like an amber ale and as such decent.

Orange color with white head. Caramel, grassy, boring, not really balanced and not much there. Drinkable though.
