May 8, 2004 Bottle: Pours clear amber with a beige large bubbled head. Aroma of malt (toffee) with a bit of grassy hops. Medium smooth body. Pretty bland taste, just a bit of clean malt and some noble hop flavour. Nothing else really there. Be great as a session beer but its not an IPA.

May 6, 2004 Clean amber color. No hop aroma: grass, caramel, sugar. Too light and poor mouthfeel, just some malt and the necessary bitterness. Easy drink; not at all an IPA!

Apr 7, 2004 What would I do for a pint of Green King IPA? I'd switch to John Smith's Yorkshire Bitter (in cans). I lived up the street from Bury St. Edmunds, and no one I knew drank this local beer.

Mar 31, 2004 Cask, The Eagle, Cambridge, UK. Somewhat disappointingly thin. Good golden color, slight head. Crisp yes, but not crisp enough, nor big enough. I guess my expectations for an IPA are based on the American palate that needs a huge amount of hops in great IPA. Not unenjoyable though.

Mar 10, 2004 Updated: Mar 11, 2005660 ml bottle, bought in Norway. Tawny colour, moderate head, moderate "standard bitter" aroma. Flavourwise it’s much like the cask version: Smooth and drinkable, not offensive in any way, but not very exciting either.

Feb 11, 2004 Tried this after getting interested in ipa's (due to james squire ipa)
Wasn't really impressed, tasted a lot like my home brew ales, very basic, not very bitter, doesnt have half the flavour as Squires. Maybe it was an old can. I like my ales stronger in aroma, flavour and alc.

Feb 11, 2004 Amber colour with small head. Little sun stricken aroma, malt predominates in the taste - only slightly hoppy-citrusy.
