Jul 8, 2005 Bottled, Pasteurised. Orange gold colour with short head. Quite a bit maltier than its cask bretheren, softer too, I would hope for more hop twang than this has to call itself an IPA. Nicely Burtonised though, with a chalky watery base, then a soft fruitiness comes through with a fullish flavour. Quite a drinkable beer but could have done with more oomph.

Jun 27, 2005 Bottle. Grassy aroma. Golden colour, unstable white head. Flowery and grassy flavour from the hops. The aromatic hoppiness is fresh and well balanced against the bitterness.

Jun 20, 2005 Decent enough for a pasteurised beer. But, like the cask version, I thought it too heavy on soft malt and too lacking in hop wallop to make the grade as a genuine IPA. Full marks for the concept. Unfortunately the execution is competent but uninspired. A bit of sulphur on the nose - no surprise for a Marstons beer. 500ml bottle.

Jun 9, 2005 Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Good full bodied Burton IPA. Light golden colour. Aroma of vanilla, hops, slight sulphur smack. Mouthfeel good. Finish of fruity hops, not overly bitter.

Jun 4, 2005 Lovely colour and a reasonable white head. Delightful fresh, herby, flowery aroma, like a summer meadow, followed by a refreshing bitterness that lasts well. Good beer.

May 17, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, deep amber with a small, dense off-white head. Pronounced aromatic hoppiness well balanced with a light caramel-like malt-sweetness. I don’t agree that this isn’t an IPA (as the brewery also calls it). 270105

May 1, 2005 Intense hoppy aroma, creamy white head, mostly lasting, nice golden/yellow colour.
Heavy bitterness, a good beer.
