650ml bottle (@5.0% AB) - Kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, and 'India Ale'. Sounds like this should be classified as an English IPA, right? We shall see.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some decent sudsy island group lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells lightly of bready and doughy caramel malt, musty lemon rind, a further indistinct earthy citrus essence, and some rather laid-back leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready cereal malt, a faint mixed citrus character, subtle wet mineral notes, and more well-understated earthy, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite subtle in its complacent-seeming frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting uppity, as such, here. It finishes off-dry, the plain, lingering malt kind of murmuring into the void.
Overall - yeah, I'm not going to evaluate this one as an American IPA (and totally trash it), because it it obviously not aiming for that audience, adjuncts notwithstanding. That aside, it is still a sort of tepid version of even its actual style, with the potentially interesting guest ingredients tailing off much too quickly. Easy to drink, yes, but boring as hell, by the same sword.

Poured from a 650 ml bottle. An IPA with added Kaffir Lime Leaf and Lemongrass.
A: Pours a nice clear gold amber with a nice white head and some good lacing, The looks are the best of this beer.
S: Nose is a East Coast dank hop with floral notes.
T: Malty with some lemon and a strange aftertaste from what who knows.
F: Good carbonation a bit thick mouth feel.
O: No idea why a brewer would want to make this one. Really it is a fail.

This one was not my preference at all. Light, bitter, watery, no body. I wrote "too puny!" on my flight notes.
