Very good, dense yellowish head over virtually clear golden beer; shards of lace. Creamy nose with modest, fruity and fragrant hops, nectarine, lunaria. Fresh, leafy, green hops with lots of citrus and other exotic fruit. Light-resiny bitterness, held firmly in check. Quite good balance, for once! Light body; medium to good carbonation, creamy feel from the head. Ah, now here they managed something more than decent. Oh, and BTW, they say it’s an IPA. ON the bottle...

Towering, dense & fine yellow-cream head over clear golden-orange beer. Creamy nose, herbal, vanilla, exotic fruit, preserved orangepeel - sweet... and Bourbon-like? Very bitter head, resiny beer; Again a very serious dash of vanilla. Sweetish under the bitter resinload, caramel, laurel/bay leaf. Part of the bitterness is also as if chewing on bayleaf - or dill. Creamy feel from the head, very slick to oly, medium bodied. Unbalanced! And as to a vanilla IIPA?

Good dense, light-cream head, fed by fine carbonation in faintly hazy orange-amber beer. Citrus, yeast, esters, bit of fatty acids even, banana. Same impression in the flavour. Fusels, yeast byproducts; bit spicy, sharpish. Light sourness, again fatty acid-likd. Bit caramel, certainly warming up. Bit of oxydation too. Medium bodied, good carbonation, slick to oily feel. "Farmhouse ald". Which is pretty much as saying "anything". Which is a good description of this beer.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Kenneth. Pours clear gold-brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose has toasted brown bread, grapefruit pith. Light sweet flavour with faint minerality, cocoa, orange rind, more brown bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, a bit restrained, some further pithy notes. Enjoyable if a little basic.

Bottle thanks to Kenny. Level 42. It pours dark deep brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sticky, dark fruits, red berry, toasty, candy and hint of farty vimto. The taste is bitter - sweet, berry skin, sticky, pink grapefruit, resin, pithy, mild astringency, toffee, treacle and candy with a dry, soapy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Fair, a bit rough I suppose.
