Cask gravity at Reading Beer Festival 2015. Haze reddish amber colour lasting white head. Not sure about the aroma but the sweetish malt in the mouth is ok. Plastic on aroma. Can’t really tell this is supposed to be a red IPA. It’s OK but not great. Moderate condition nothing much on the finish

500ml bottle. Pours a deep amber with minimal head. Thin malty aroma, continuing to a thin taste with distinct off-notes that became more prominent the more I journeyed on. A sink-pour unfortunately.

On gravity at the Maltings beer festival, Newton Abbot 17/4/2015 as "Indian Red IPA". Deep, reddish amber with a frothy, off-white, head. Sweet caramel and red berry fruits, floral hops, biscuity malts and a touch of hop in the finish. A bit too sweet for me.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, the now-expected surprise end-of-the-night bottle shared at the 10th Shrewsbury Bottle Share, Jan 15. Pours deep dark brown with a modest white head. Taste is surprisingly thin and a touch watery even. Can’t detect any vanilla elements whatsoever. Had better from this brewery.

Bottle at Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury on 26th Jan 2015. Dark brown pour with a thinning white topping. Chocolate notes in the nose, with some woody esters too. Chocolate in the taste with a mild Vanilla finish, no Bourdon for my senses. Decent and a pleasant beer to finish off a steady drinking session. Nearly fell asleep on the train home (again).

Bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - amber and slightly cloudy with a nice head. Nose - cake and dried orange peel. A touch of pine too. Taste - more cake and dried fruit notes, though a lot drier than the nose. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and then a very dry finish. Overall - lovely nose, but that’s where it peaked.

Cask @ Bar Fringe, Manchester. Clear golden with a very thin head. A little sticky in its texture with a small sweetness that’s more stated in its nose than taste. There’s a small fruitiness here.
