I tried a third pint of this beer off the tapper at the brewery. It poured a clear golden with white head that left some nice lace. The scent had bitter pine resin and citrus notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright crystal malt base with bitter pine resin presence and a dry finish. The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Bottle. Clear amber with a narrow dense head.
Sweet malt an hop aroma. Light diacetyl present.
A typical sweet EIPA flavour. Decent balance of hops and malt.
Moderate carbonation and body.
Run of the mill bitter.

650ml bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of toasted caramel, floral notes and citrus. Sweet caramel, toasted caramel malt and a sharp bitterness.

L- Dark gold, clear, 5mm fine white head.
S- Subtle, but some fruits, perhaps apricot for me.
T- Defintely fruits in there, apricot is close, and perhaps some melon, then a fast dry turn from the hops. 2nd sip brings roasty notes. Sip-3 begins with some brief perfumed edges. It's an interesting one, it doesn't stand still on the palate.
F- It's pretty dry, well of course it's an IPA. But it's done well, it is not over-hopped, not a 'hop-bomb', it does it in balance.
O- It has more to it that I was expecting, and it's done it well. Certainly at the dryer end of beers I enjoy but I'm glad I am enjoying it.
Bought from Sainsbury's at Paddington station London. 500ml bottle for £1.95. BB: 04/20

£ 5.00/pint at Balamacara hotel, Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland.
Appearance – 4.25.
Body – Golden, clear.
Head – Chopped by bartender, creamy and off-white, good retention, slowly diminishing to a 12 mm ring and layer. Head reduction leaves complete rings of tiny to small bubbles connected by many thin columns.
Lacing – Excellent. Complete rings of tiny to small bubbles connected by many thin columns.
First pour – NA.
Aroma – 3.5 – Weak, a bit citrusy.
Flavor – 3.5 – Begins slightly bitter with a bit of citrus. The middle shows of the malt while the end is lightly bitter with a slight flavoring of orange rind. No alcohol, no diacetyl, no dimethylsulfide.
Palate – 3.5 – Medium, watery, soft carbonation.
Impression and summation – 4 – A very pleasant IPA beginning to show some of the characteristics of an American IPA. Readily drinkable and pleasant.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of Jan 2018. Picked up a while back from a local offie. The label suggests that this beer is inspired by the cyclops of mythology....
A: Poured into a tulip. A deep orange-amber hue with faint haze and good carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a frothy surface layer.
S: Aroma of caramel malt and grassy hops, with hints of mild fruity notes, hay, leafiness, grain and ale yeast. A metallic overtone is discernible. Hop character not particularly forthright.
T: Tastes of subdued grassy hops and caramel malt, with notes of hay, leafiness, faint fruitiness, ale yeast, mild husky grain and an acrid whisper in the background. The hops are not very pronounced; almost playing second fiddle to the malt. Slightly sweet, with an understated bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth and lightly tingly, with good body and soft carbonation. Aftertaste of caramel malt, grassy hops, yeast and mild bitterness.
O: Meh - a pretty uninspiring IPA. Even as a regular pale ale the hops would feel underpowered. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are malt-driven with a lacklustre hop presence. Decent body. Drinkable but a tad on the dull side - I like my IPAs to have a more muscular hoppiness. No need to hunt it down.
