Look: deep, apricot amber, hazy, rich. White foam, but insubstantial
Smell: have to work hard to get a slight bit of mango and biscuit
Taste: pleasant, honey forward, a bit of burnt caramel, not much hops. Barely an IPA, more like a thick English Bitter.
Feel: a bit more fizz than anticipated given the haze. A little thin on the tongue.
Overall: Easy to drink, fruit and honey but not treacle. Not substantial but nice enough and would be good introduction to someone moving away from lagers.

Pours amber with a thin white head. Some trailing lace sticks.
The smell is of mild floral notes, a hint of cracker.
The taste is of sweet honey-like malt, a touch of caramel, finishing with mild bitter hop touch.
The body is on the lighter end of the spectrum, but not fizzy or watery. It is smooth and has a rather refreshing quality to it.
Not a bad brew. Interesting mix of hops - East Kent Golding, Centennial and Tettnanger. They could have been showcased more, but added enough bitterness to keep it just into IPA land. Rated as a mild "English" IPA, as I assume that that is what they were going for.
