A Mes rate. Bottle from the random offy drunk in Hoxton Square.
A big fruity IPA. Burnt plastic in a typical Pitfield style. Far too sweet and harshly alcoholic. Raw and totally unrefined. Pretty awful.

1. From the Bottle at 78, Glasgow 01/12/2007 Hoppy aroma. Amber coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a crisp and slightly bitter dry lasting finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Stouts, Milds, Porters & Strong Ales Weekend Prince Of Wales, Foxfield 04/10/2008

Had this at the Cambridge beer festival, wasn’t taking too many notes that day. I did find it distinctly soapy though. A good beer, but a bit soapy...

Nose is nice, though a bit muted, and the palate while pleasant does not seem complete. A nice IPA leaning towards roasted notes, and less towards the floral/citrus.

Cask at the Bricklayers Arms, 15th Jan 09, with tashi. Dark amber appearance. Restrained aroma. Full bodied with lots of great floral hop flavours. Malty sweetness fills out the flavour. A satisfying drink for a winter evening by the fire (which this was) but less suitable for a hot summers day.

Bottled, from Sound Bites, Derby. Derby’s premier organic food store with plenty of organic beer, a decent Pitfield range as well as stuff from Marble and others. Second in the bottle-raiding session tonight. Not bad; slight citric aroma, buttercup-puckering hops that soon subside, lacks that certain ba-da-BING! that I’ve come to love from IPAs.

Cask 78 Ultimate Glasgow tasting afters pub crawl: Poured an amber with a tan color head. The aroma was hops and pine. The taste is balanced with a nice hop finish.
