Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear, dark golden beer with a minimal sized white head. The aroma reminds me more of an English regular bitter than of an IPA, but what to expect at 3.8 % ABV. Biscuity malts, pine cones, grass and a fruity touch in the aroma. The body is a bit thin, but not thin, and the carbonation level is appropriate. Nice bitterness in the flavor, with fruityness and pine cones, and some pale malts in the back. Bitterness in the end. Decent. 110318

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It pours a clear, golden body with a white head. The aroma has a pleasant hoppyness, but also a buttery caramel touch. It’s dominated by the hops in the mouth, pleasant bitterness and a decent hop flavor, but I would like it less buttery. Medium body, nice carbonation. Overall, too much butterscotch, but a quite pleasant one. 110318

Half pint, cask at Leslie Bar. Bright, yellow-gold body. Headless, fragile lacework. Hints of sweet dusty hops to the nose. Smooth fruits mixed with caramel malts in flavour. Not a typical IPA, just of whiff of bitter hops to the finish (Edinburgh, 02.12.2010).

Half, just on from cask at Standing Order (JDW). Deep, mahogany coloured body, maybe even a bit darker. Shiny black surface. Smell of dark malts, slightly roasted. Coffee grounds to the taste buds conjoined by brown sugar and mild expression of spices. Moderate bitter endnotes. Satisfying (Edinburgh, 30.11.2010).
