It is brown with a decent whitish head. Smells of alcohol, very little to no hop flavor, some caramel flavor, thin tasting with hardly any bite. Not very true to being an IPA. Definately malty. The taste dies off quickly.

Clear brown color with an ok lasting off-white head. Some malt and caramel in the aroma. Roasted malt in the flavor with some toffee/caramel in the background. Sweet and weak. How the hell can they call it an India Pale Ale, there is almost no hops in it...?!?

Boring. Aroma of alcohol, malt, perhaps some flavour additives, but practically no hops whatsoever. Shame on them. This is not an IPA - more of a Budweiser Amber. :-P

Canned, Pasteurised. Pale brown with short carbonated head. Awful sweet caramel flavour, burnt biscuit and boiled seaweed. What this has to do with beer is anyones guess.

Light caramel coloring and taste. I did not taste any hops whatsoever. Thin on the palate.

Bottle. Pours a light amber with a minimal off-white head. Very lightly hopped pale ale with a little smoky/sweetness.

Can. Hugely disappointing in the glass. Big white head disappears as fast as it arose atop an amber brew. Some aroma of metallic caramel. Body is light and flavour is a bit watery with hints of caramel and malt in the finish. Little or no bitterness. I have actually had this in the past and enjoyed it so I am not sure if this can was off or if my tastes have simply moved on.

Medium sized offwhite/gray tinged head, decent retention, minimal lace. Bright amber color, good looking though kinda dark. Bready malty nose, an inkling of hops? Medium body. Grainy malt flavor, toasty. Not much hop flavor either. Dry finish with an unexpected hop bite and hints of oxydation.
