500mL bottle, no date. Served in a stemmed glass.

Appearance: Clear golden color with a hint of amber. Thin white head. No lacing.

Smell: Slightly skunked, a bit of citrus.

Taste: Malt, a bit of citrus, skunked leafy bitterness hop at the finish. More like a lager than an IPA.

Mouthfeel: Highly carbonated and fizzy. A bit sticky on the teeth.

Overall/Drinkability: Not a good English IPA. Reminded me a lot more of a Euro Pale Lager than anything else. I do wish Belhaven would get the hint and go with Amber glass. I couldn’t finish this.

Golden copper ale. Flat looking.
Aroma of stewed hops. Rather unpleasant.
Reasonable malt to hop balance but the beer has been light struck.
Little carbonation.
Not very nice.

Bottled (& unfortunately clear)
Amber body with white head that recedes to just the edge of the glass
Aroma.... it honestly smell of :O fresh cut grass
oh & skunking :(
There is a little of the hops which is slightly lime but it's been killed by skunking
shame coz the malt is okay
Watery & fizzy tho on the mouthfeel
