On tap at OGH. Looks and feels like a pale ale but the taste and aroma are all mint. It’s fascinating, and really quite nice. The mint plays with the hops really well, though the aftertaste is a little stale.

On tap at 16 Tun. Aroma is sweet and fruity, almost bordering on white chocolate. Flavour has a bit more fruit to it, but it’s also quite watery.

On tap at Brother’s Beer. Smell and taste are just americano. Little other character strikes through. It’s nice coffee, but it’s still just coffee.

From a 500ml bottle on 3/4/2016 (shared by Butz with thanks). Pours a clear golden with a medium head. Has a pleasant fruity, hoppy nose. The flavour features bready malt, some sweet citrus (mandarine, tangerine), and some relativey firm hops. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A pretty solid IPA. As I’ve just had a bottle, clearly not draught only any longer.

Draft. Maroon brown color, beige head. Aroma of cocoa and subtle cherry. Taste starts with sweet brownie, then light coffee and cherry. Tasty.

22 oz bottle poured. Much thanks Dad for thinking of me when you were down in New Zealand. Pours a clear golden color with a thin oily head. Sweet fruit and hop forward aroma. Thicker body with grassy hops, slight fruit, and mild grain finish. Nice hop character throughout. Overall, good IPA.

Bottle, big thanks to Wingmanwillis and his brother, split on the train to Windsor 17/03/15. Black with a decent tan cover that retains well. Nose is light charr, pine, red berry fruit, raisens, spice, light cocoa, liquorice. Taste is a little thinner than the aroma with pine needle, bitter tropicana, earthy hop, roasted tones, red berry tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Respectable enough CDA.

330 ml bottle. Pours a clear copper with light-ish head. Aromas of toffee, pine, and candied fruit. Flavors of pine, bitter orange, and toasted malts. Somewhat thin, bitter finish. Pretty much a standard IPA these days. Didn’t get much of the unique hops. 7
