This is a seriously disappointing beer. I'm thinking Summer IPA, I'm thinking fruit and citrus, and well, no. Thin, malt-dominated, with the ever so slightest hint of hops. Save your money, folks. This one's not worth a return visit.

330ml bottle, part of the new and rebranded Stanley Park mixed pack. Made with El Dorado hops.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent broken web pattern lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs out of sight.
It smells of buttered bread, doughy caramel malt, somewhat juicy generic citrus, a bit of earthy yeastiness, and some very weak leafy, weedy, and wet piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some buttery toffee sweetness, still muted domestic citrus flesh notes, a dead sort of yeasty thing, and more wan leafy, earthy, and musty 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is more or less inert in its stillborn frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and kind of smooth, what with that clammy butter character lurking about. It finishes off-dry, the same ol', same ol' wannabe IPA gangstas presiding.
Overall - yeah, this is hardly an IPA, let alone an exemplar of the style. The malt runs the show here, and it's a shoddy one at that - I just can't get over that pithy buttery thing that I'm gonna have to eventually claim to be an overdose of diacetyl. Not good, no, not good, so my sympathies go out to any El Dorado hops that were harmed in the making of this.
