FWIW - I see the other entry for a beer called 'Eddystone Light' dating from 2005. It has a single review and is listed as a Bitter. This bottle is different, the beer is called 'Eddystone' and the lable states it is '...our take on an IPA'. Hence I've created a new listing for it here.
L- It's mid-amber, and has poured with a tiny amount of haze (it's bottle-conditioned, and I might have handled it a little more carefully). Pours with 5mm good-looking white foam head. (ps holding well 10mins later).
S- Smells trad to me, no weird fruit notes, we'll see.
T- Tastes pretty trad too, with quite bright hopping giving a dry brush across my palate. Decent grains and malts provide balance alongside.
F- This would be very refreshing in summer. It is a very elegant beer (I note zero wrong or out of place here). It reminds me of why I didn't choose IPA in the 1980s (my youth!), this profile is a bit hoppier than I enjoyed then so I went for Best Bitter or ales instead.
O- Very nice, refreshing while having a decent meaty-malty presence for a 4.8%. Perhaps I can suggest this beer is 'authentic', something that seems increasingly scarce these days. By authentic I mean genuinely not pimped or messed with.
