Bottle from The Sourced Market, St Pancras International, London, Wednesday 26th March 2014 Pours dark amber with an off/white head a touch chewy with some burnt toffee. Indeed there is some hoppiness but its quite malty, really quite malty. Soft mouthfeel, I didn’t mind it but it really wasn’t an IPA in my eyes. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Sample from 33 cl. bottle. Slightly hazy, golden-amber with a thin white head. Mouldy hoppy aroma with caramel malts - something is wrong here. Taste is bitter - far better than aroma. Medium body with a soft carbonation. Short finish with fruits and herbal notes. Hope, this was an off bottle.
