Hand pulled half pint in the garden of the Black Bear (Whitchurch) on 23rd May 2025. An Australian IPA according to the pump clip, so assuming it's got Aussie hops within. It may well have, but I didn't pick up on anything strong or different, this is a subtle IPA, nice enough but nothing stands out aroma or flavour wise, just a pleasant blend of hops and malts which I enjoyed while sitting in the early evening sunshine.
