Light amber; dried flowers in the aroma; bland, watery, touch of grass. OK, I use that description on swill lagers and this is better than that, but it is not that much better. If I didn’t know any better I’d say they were competing with Keith’s.

I found this one in a little liquor store in England, seems pretty common though. Very hoppy aroma, not too much hops in the flavor though. Very drinkable Ipa, not too watery or fruity.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Golden colour. Grassy, sharp hop aroma. Sweet and indistinct mellow body. Quite unpleasant.

pretty poor i have to say. slightly hazy yellow, with head that fizzles away v. quickly. light malt body that somehow manages to stick around and cloy in the finish. thin citric hops. like cascade pale ale or something

Slight sediment in bottle but not sure if it was BC or just rough filtered. Amber gold with moderate head, predominantly hoppy nose, malty caramel sweet body with some hop flavour and bitterness and a hoppy finish.

Sweeter than any IPA I’ve ever tried. A nice copper color, Sweet malty nose. Very light feel in the mouth, hops is present at the tail end. Sweet aftertaste stays a while.
