Bottle from Blue Glass, Bedford. Pours a very slightly hazy bright golden colour with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of floral hop, malt, caramel and light fruit. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, slightly oily and watery texture, soft carbonation. Easy drinker and overall pretty good.

Matteo’s Ciao @ Craft Islington. Thanks to Chris. Almost clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and dry, decent carbonation. Sweetish malts. Tangy apple. Bitterish citric peel. Light dry finish. Not good.

Bottle shared in London / many thanks to Chris! Pours clear orange with a thick, creamy topping. Grainy and lightly toasted malts in the nose, leaves. Light sweet flavour with more pale grains, dried citrus peel, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with some pine needles, more pine needles, a little earth. Not bad.

Tried at the Peterborough Beer Festival 2016. As Ampthill Brewhouse IPA. Amber colour with a white head. Seemed more bitter than IPA to me. Aroma flight fruit and floral. Taste caramel then bitter sweet.

Bottle from Blue Glass, Bedford. Dark gold, almost clear. Bit of creamy white head. Orange peel and harsh grain on the aroma. Taste is bittersweet, with naked malt flavour and a touch of sulphurous astringency. Long bitter malty finish. Not all that great but drinkable.

Gravity cask at the Old Transporter Ale House. Light to mid brown. Clear but not very lively. Bready woody nutty aroma with a floral hint. Bittersweet taste, there are some nice hops although this is not an IPA. Finish is quite astringent. A competent bitter.
