| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 4, 2005 Cask Conditioned at Harbury Beer Festival ’05. Light golden slightly cloudy, no head. Flabby fruity body without the sharp hop I was waiting for with an IPA. Oily on the tongue and not in great condition. chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 5, 2005 Finally, my first beer from this fairly new brewery. They’ve been eluding me for months. It has an attractive rich golden colour. A well developed, if slightly oily, hop aroma. Plenty of juicy, spicy, citric hop flavour. Distinct US feel to this beer. Quite a fat, if oily (but not in a sticky way), mouthfeel. Impressed. Cask, Reading Beer Festival, April 2005.

Not an IPA as such, but does have some richer hoppy characters than most other brit beers listed as IPA, but to me this is more of a best bitter or something similiar. Nicely citric and dry, but no characters really stick out, a very pleasant beer anyway, and hopefully i get to try it again in the future.
