Tasted by half-pint recently at the Pembury Tavern, Hackney, N. London.

A: pale amber hue, coming with a huge and tightly frothy off-white beer head that settles in its own time... low carbonation and great clarity. Looking great, esp. when it's dispensed w/o a sparkler.
S: floral-hops themed, laced with sweet orangey-citric fruitines, apricots, a piney edge of hops as well as a semi-sharp edge of pineapples... very fruity and hoppy, while the maltiness retreats to the third tier of aromas...
T: lots of chewy, flakey tea-leafy hops and a profound citric+piney impact of whole hops... toffee-ish, chewy malts at work in the background, added with an intriguing edge of stinky hays with a rather rough and chewy texture... the aftertaste shows faint nuttiness and an intensifying bitterness creeping down the throat.
M&D: very smoothly-textured and rounded, with its alc. hidden beyond notice... the body is balanced, as is the flavour profile, making this beer a dangerously drinkable and reasonably delicious IPA.
