Poured a slightly darker copper colour, off white/beige head that went away slowly. Buttery sweetish malty nose Sweetish butery/fishy taste, notes of lemon, dry. Light earthiness, scant bitterness. Eeh, not impressed.

09/10 0.5 l bottle from the English store in Antibes. It poured copper body with medium sized, slightly off white head. Weak, orange aroma, hoppy. Flavor was orange bitter as well, fine, but simple, with nothing else there except maybe hint of biscuit malt. Also, pretty thin bodied with shorter citrus finish. Was refreshing, but nothing special and easily forgettable.

50cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Clear amber brown with one finger diminishing tan head. Aroma is subtle, slight hops, hints of caramel, maybe maple syrup. Hoppy flavor with smoky undertones. High carbonation. Medium bitter finish.

Not a fan of this. Clear amber color and cream head looked great but the smell was horrid. Too sweet like an imatation sugar mixed with this sweaty sock stench. Taste was almost just as bad but not quite a drain pour. I did finish it and moved on to a better quality BSA.

clear ruby red/orange, pale head that ran fast. almost forgot the smell of english hops; earthy, clay, grassy, eucalyptus, mold, barnyard. taste doesnt follw through with the nose, very dissapointing, not horrible though.

Bottle. Creamy head that soon disappeared. Faint rye bread aroma. Distinctly but not overpoweringly hoppy taste with medium-bitter finish. Not "metallic" at all. Americans! What’s your problem with this clean, straightforward IPA? All of your own beers I ever tried taste like pee (Anheuser Busch, Miller’s, you name ’em). Greene King IPA is good beer!

Tasted 7/22/09. 500ml bottle. Filtered with an amber hue. Trace ring of bone white head. Caramel soggy bread aromas. Mild and subtle esters. Medium bodied with a solid malty character. The bitterness from the hops are faint and meld well with the malt dominant beer. The bitterness also adds a nice drying sensation in the finish. Smooth and easy, yet nothing special.
