Bottle from a Tesco drunk in the corpuscular light of a premier Inn. Smells of grass and malt.. taste is corn, malt, grassy and quite a bit of salt. Not for me Clive.

Bought and Lancashire and correctly consumed in Lancashire. Nose is fruity, lightly citrus. Taste is grapefruit, hints of lemon, lemon balm, light pale malts. There is no really discernible tea element, maybe a little leathery tanin. But I was hunting for it.

It is an IPA and is fine.

Can.

Nose is licorice, umami, hint of smoke, whiskey, earthy. Taste is peaty, ash, leading to soy, whiskey, hint of blackcurrant, with a touch of dark chocolate and coffee in the bitter ashy finish.

Really superb. It's complex but very well balanced.

Bottle. Nose is very woody, spicy, faint tobacco, very very pronounced leather, faint floral note. An extraordinary aroma

Taste is a let down in comparison. Leather, woody, vegetable, leaf, tobacco, earth. Hints of vanilla, slightly floral. Nothing particular on style for the flavour profile.

Body is too thin

One of the most extraordinary smelling beers I've ever had. Could almost be a cologne. Tastes pretty bad though.
