Cask. Amber in colour. Thin head.
Light hop with a malty backbone.
Standard EIPA flavour. Leafy hops and malt. Well balanced.
Medium body. Soft feel.
Old fashioned English Bitter.

Handpump halfpint at the Lamb & Flag in Oxford.
A: Crystal clear medium amber body with a persistent cap of off-white froth. Attractive.
S: Aggressive mix of leafy hops and nutty malts, with emphasis clearly on the latter. Straightforward and good (for a Bitter, that its, not an IPA as it's now understood).
T: Follows the nose. Malts are prominent throughout, but hops never disappear. Lots of caramel, nuttiness, and earthiness. A bit of citrus. Bittersweet finish. Tasty.
M: Medium body, light carbonation. Ok.
O: Very nice Bitter. The IPA in the name clearly confused the first person to add this, as it's very clearly not an IPA in any contemporary sense of the term.
Cheers!

Had this beer at he New Inn pub in Gloucester, a very historic pub. They serve good beer as this was a very nice pint of ale. Clear amber with a well formed and dense off white head. Complete glass covering sheets of solid lace are a visual delight. Fresh herbal aroma. Super smooth taste profile features herbal notes as well and a solid malt base to balance it all. The whole package is a very enjoyable beer, one I'm glad I tried.

Cask) Uncomplicated bitter. Leans more towards a 'bitter' than an IPA in my book. Grainy, thin malt, citric hops, mildly bitter. Easy enough to drink, nothing too offensive, perhaps theres a bit of sulfur happening. Mouthfeel is a bit thin and uncomplex.
