Jan 18, 2007 355mil bottle. Pours golden with white foam. Initial aroma is light straw. Flavour is much less hops than expected for an English India Ale, I was expecting maybe an IPA, but this is truly more like a bitter (as categorized by ratebeer). Straw like flavours are fairly dominant with some fruit esters as well.
It is a nice beer, but differed from what I expected, a nice learning experience.

Jan 11, 2007 This poured a golden orange-ish color body with little head. Not much aroma, thought by definition it would have a more hop smell to it. Very clean flavor though.

Jan 7, 2007 I was expecting something more hoppy, but it poured a nice copper coloured brew, to say the least.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottle; pours a slightly cloudy amber with a nice tan head that slowly dissipates to a patchy covering; good lacing. Tame malty aroma of straw, honey and nut. A little mild hoppiness at the front of the taste, a nice bitterness in the middle and a malty finish that lingers just a bit. I see this is classified as a Bitter/ESB, and not an IPA as I assumed. Once that’s straight its easier to settle in and enjoy as this is a far cry from an American IPA if that’s what you’re expecting. Very nice in it’s own right, recommended.

Dec 30, 2006 Copper-colored with a white lacing head. Aroma is oat-like malts. Flavor is a decent balance of malt, and very mild hops. Unfortunately it just isnt to thick, and finishes dull. Not a very exciting beer, to say the least. Im rarely impressed by the English.

Dec 28, 2006 Not very "hoppy" for an IPA. Pours like a shaken up bottle of sprite. Great with chinese food. The finish took me by surprise though... toffee/caramel... finishes the same as bluemoon winter
