Keg tap at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Light to mid-brown, almost the colour of... iced tea. This was a hell of a gusher, but the off-white head seems to have subsided a bit. A bit of tea, woody and hoppy notes, and light resin in the aroma. Bitter vinous taste, but there’s a nice stewed builders’ tea note. Nothing subtle about this, and the tannic feel is replicated in the long finish and aftertaste. It’s a well-presented but not particularly memorable IPA. However when it exists in the moment, it’s a lovely moment.
