A 330ml bottle with a BB of Dec 2014, so it's a bit out of date. Purchased a while back from Trembling Madness in York. The label describes it as an IPA hopped with Experimental 366, Chinook and Falconer's Flight.

A: Poured into a Duvel tulip. Bottle conditioned. A deep orange-amber hue with faint haze and medium carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding to a patchy surface layer.

S: Aroma of caramel malt with hints of grain, mild barley sugar, grass/hay, leafy hops, subtle white fruit, earthy yeast and faint stewed hops. Relatively unexciting for an IPA.

T: Tastes of caramel malt and subdued hops with a dry finish. Notes of grain, mild barley sugar, grass/hay, leafy hops, earthy yeast and stewed hops. Slightly sweet, followed by a restrained bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with soft carbonation and decent body. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of earthy yeast, mild grainy malt and leafy hops.

O: Meh - quite unimpressive for an IPA. But I don't really know what hop character to expect from a brew with experimental varieties. Could also be a bit faded. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are a mild blend of grainy malt, grassy/leafy hops and earthy yeast. Body is OK. Doesn't really hold your interest - no need to hunt it down.
