Unclear amber with small head. Aroma of grass but with a hint of sulfur. Flavor is malt and floral hops but again a hint of vegetable

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle at Chris_o birthday bash 08. Amber thin beige head. Expected more hop on aroma. OK, some hop, some malt, ok, but not really an IPA.

Jun 3, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at the Oi Oi Saveloy tasting at Chris O’s.
Dark gold with a thin white head. Hoppy and floral with a wheaty finish. Decent enough but seriously lacking character.

Jun 1, 2008 500ml bottle (bottle conditioned) at London tasting, May 2008, bought from DagliBrugsen, Lyne (right opposite the brewery). BBE January 2009. Hazy ginger colour. Not sure what hops are used but they are not of the highly aromatic variety or a larger quantity would not have gone amiss. So there’s no great depth of aroma or flavour. Hmm - I could be describing the majority of British "IPAs". Distinctly sweet but also has a sour edge that I’m not convinced was entirely intended. Whether it was, or not, I didn’t think the bittersweet feel worked too well. Overall, drinkable but rather short of impact.
