500ml bottle. Golden colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of apple, some skin, sulphur hint. Taste is sweetish, tangy, apple, fruity, some skin and core, caramel hint and with some bittersweet tannins. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium-dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Large rocky off white left a froth on a clear amber coloured still body. Malt, cardboard & ashtray aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tickle on the back. Malt, syrup, pine & grapefruit tastes with a bitter finish. I had to check this can was still in date - it's got 6 months left. A real mess of a brew - how can a DIPA be 6.1%? It's just so off target. Tastes more like a decent ESB type.

Aroma is chocolate, raspberry, sour fruits, light coffee, citrus, vegetable, starchy potato. Moderate sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness with a sour edge. Medium body, average to soft carbonation. Not keen on this.
