I tried a bottle of this after purchasing a mix case direct from the brewery.
The beer poured an amber-gold colour with a white head, but as with the other beers I have tried from this brewery they offer almost no head retention, even compared to other bottled beers.
The nose is dominated by hops, this is quite a bitter smelling beer with a hint of citrus and a very fresh smell. Really quite pleasant.
The beer didn't taste as bitter as I expected an initial burst of hops with a biscuit and nutty taste, very smooth to drink. A dry finish left a nice lingering hoppy taste.
An average body for an IPA and a very well balanced taste made this extremely drinkable, too drinkable perhaps as my wife enjoyed it (she normally won't touch beer). Not for the die hard hop heads about, but a very pleasant pint nonetheless.

Tasted by a half-pint at the Market Porter, next to the Borough Market in London, on 19 Feb. 2007; hand-pulled w/o the aid of a sparkler.
A: a clear, bright reddish-amber hue comes with a thin white foam and very low carbonation.
S: the buttery & sulphurous note with a savoury-sweet edge prevails, leaving pale malts and orangey hops behind. For an IPA, the aroma is rather simplistic, despite the struggling contribution of the malt body.
T: bitter-sweet malty, savoury, buttery, and lemony-hoppy mildly sour-ish and tannic bitterness gradually develops, leaving a tangy citric aftertaste to mingle with the equally lingering biscuity maltiness.
M&D: the overall flavour shows a good length of hop bitterness and a rough balance b/w hops and malts, alas its still boring or too ordinary to be a tasty PA, let alone a fuller IPA
