3.0 fles 0,5L, meegenomen uit de UK, schenkt koper met minimale witte kraag. Aroma is fruitig, sinaasappel, mout, hop, smaken van citrus, fruitzuur, moutig, pilsmout, biscuit, zwak bitter, zwakke body, niet bijzonder

2.9 Bottle at home. Amber in colour with a thin head. Slight aroma of peppery hop. Sweet start, then some bitterness. Sweet malt, some fruit and a dry finish. The hops are definitely there, but this is an underpowered beer.

2.5 Cask gravity at the Ealing beer festival 2016, brown with a fast-settling head, woody nose, toffee malt and earthy bitterness but a bit estery.

3.1 Bottle from Cornelius. Clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of marmalade, dusty malts and autumn leaves. Peppery, dry finish. Flavour of tangy pear, lemon and grass. Thin body with a watery texture. Light fizz. A simple, hoppy Bitter.

3.4 Bottle @ The Goods shed, Canterbury. Hoppy and citrussy bitter with dry finish. Easy drinkable. Good!

3.0 50 cl bottle. Pours a clear copper with a minimal white head. Aroma of lemon and toffee. Taste is slightly sweet. Palate is flat. Overall just OK.

3.1 Bottle, 500 ml. Pours clear orange/amber with some lively white head and a ton of bubbles. Nose is mostly wholemeal bread small fruity hints, maybe orange. Taste is fairly sweet with more caramel and bread, with hints of citrus. Little bit of hoppy bitterness on the back end prevents the sweetness from being overpowering. Aftertaste is cereal and not too cloying. Less carb than expected on the palate, which with the good medium body and oily texture makes for easy drinking. Definitely not the IPA it advertises itself as but fine drinking nonetheless.

2.6 Bottle at Bishops Arms Gustav Adolfs Torg, Malmö. Clear copper with a small white head. Aroma and taste of caramel, malt, light hops and some weak notes of fruit. Drinkable but a bit boring.

2.0 @ Bishops GA Malmö 15-8-6: En ganska typisk brittisk ipa med maltigs toner. Inte riktigt min grej

3.0 Flaska @ Bishops Arms GA, Malmö. Klar kopparfärgad öl med ett litet vitt skum. Dofter av malt, örter, trä och en lätt fruktighet. Smakinslag malt, örter, vitt bröd och frukt. Väl kolsyrig för min smak. Fruktig avslutning. Lätt beska.

3.2 Bottle from Dadster. Cloudy amber ale with a ginger and mild grapefruit taste. Watery finish that doesn’t last but ideal for this Sunday evening.

3.4 500ml bottle. Poured a golden, copper colour. Clear with a nice white head. Aroma is floral, barley notes with hints of caramel. Taste is subtly spiced, earthy and citrusy. Pleasant late bitter finish on the palate. Enjoyable.

2.8 Pours pale gold. Has a burnt, crisp taste with a slight floral feel. Earthy, woody taste. Has a nice bit of character and just the right amount of bitterness, so found this one a nice beer to drink.

3.8 Cask at the Padwell Arms, Sevenoaks. Pale amber pour. There is a lot of fruit and some soft peppery character. There is a touch of herbal/ spicy hops. Here is a bit of soft sweetness trough the middle as well. Persistent bitterness. Quite moreish. A pretty nicely balanced ale. Lovely.

2.9 Thin aroma of biscuity malt, fruity notes, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet and light tart with a moderate dry bitter finish. A bit on the watery side, but nicely carbonated. Didn’t expect this to be slightly tart.

3.0 500ml bottle: found in a local Wye Vale garden centre. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 1st Nov 2014. Amber/copper body with a white, thin head. Hoppy lead in both the nose and taste, semi-bitter and refreshing but it lacks true oomph or character to set it apart from other such brews.

2.5 Cask at Falcon as ’Skrimshander IPA’. Lost some of my notes due to having a shit phone. Hazy dark orange, still, small white head, sparse lacing. Aroma is very light with some card. Body is light, smooth, touch of carbonation. Taste is dirty water, paper, thin, some astringency, slightly earthy. Not great.

3.3 Clear gold beer with a creamy head and light citrus aroma. Flavour is surprisingly earthy with light floral fruity hop coming after. Unspectacular but very drinkable.

3.2 Cask at The Haymarket. Pours clear pale gold, thin white head. Aromas are light biscuit, light lemon and floral notes. Taste brings a lightly spicy note, but otherwise sweet. Thin finish. OK.

2.9 Bottle shared with McTapps. Classic one with a few hops, some citrus fruits and more sweetish ones towards the end. Bit skunky finish. Not bad at all.

3.5 Bottle brought home from England. Pours out in a clear golden-amber colour with low head and medium body. Aroma of fresh hops and spices. Taste of fresh hops, light barley, oak, light malt, pine, flowers, grapefruit and straw. Aromatic and tasty beer - enjoyed it.

3.0 Bottle from Asda. Aroma has a slightly ’burnt’ note. Quite fruity hop flavour - more strawberry than tropical fruit. Fairly carbonated.

3.2 Bottle, best before January 2016? Clear copper with a medium sized diminishing off white head. Light berries, white cheese and dried green plants, light brewmash, earthy. Medium body, oily texture, medium/high carbonation, light/medium sweet and bitter. Light dry and bitter finish. Not too bad, but too high carbonation and a bit homebrewish.

3.6 Appearance: Clear copper with thin ivory head. Aroma: Lemon, pepper, light maltiness and light floral notes. Taste: low sweetness, low/medium sourness and medium bitterness. Palate: light grainy texture, light body, average carbonation, lingering lemony, peppery finish. Comments: Very good and refreshing.

3.3 Bottle. Pours light amber in colour, and clear. One finger short-lived head. Lots of hops and fruit in the aroma. Taste is a bit fruity, caramel, malt hints, lots of hop bitterness, with a medium mouthfeel. Nice.
