L- Unflitered. Darker side of amber. Quite cloudy. 1/2Cm white head holds very well.
S- Citrus and spicy nose with spicy edge.
T- Dry, cedars, hops > strong dry hops > pungent strong dry hops into finish.
M- Rounded but the bitter/dry hops ride through that effortlessly.
O- I hadn't heard of this brewery before, £1.75/330ml can as part of a 3/£5.25 offer at Tesco London. Unusual can opening mechanism which they lable as 'Introducing the 360 [degree] can' and '#Take your top off'. What it is is a ring-pull that peels off the top of the can turning it into a beaker. I haven't seen such since Sapporo cans in Tokyo in the 90's.
This beer seems one of those 'new IPAs' that is for the full-on hop-heads. Either it'll be OTT or some kind of heaven. After 1/3rd of the can I'm not yet sure what I'll conclude at the bottom of the glass.
bb: 19/7/19, tasting notes from mid-2018.

A 330ml can with a BB of June 2019. Purchased a little while back from Tesco. Not sure what the flying carpet on the label is for....
A: Poured into an IPA glass. Can-conditioned. A rich, hazy amber hue with good carbonation and fine suspended sediment. Produces a vast head of frothy white foam that lasts for a minute or two before reducing to a patchy surface layer. Nice lacing.
S: Aroma of fruity hops with hints of citrus, peel, mild tropical fruit, pine, weed, vague leafiness, caramel malt, ale yeast and subtle earthiness. Rather nice.
T: Tastes of fruity aromatic hops with notes of pine resin, weed, citrus peel, zest, tropical fruit, white grape, leafiness, earthiness, ale yeast and caramel malt. Slightly sweet, followed by a robust hop-driven bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with fizzy carbonation and decent body. Mildly astringent; texture could be a tad livelier. Aftertaste of bitter resinous hops, pine, weed, citrus peel, leafiness, earthy yeast and caramel malt.
O: Not too shabby; a hoppy IPA with a hefty dose of resin and fruitiness. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are stuffed with hops and underpinned by caramel malt and ale yeast. Body is OK. Drinkable, though I wouldn't say that this stands out from the crowd. Worth trying.

330ml Can from Tesco (£1.89):
A nice IPA from the London Beer Factory, it was a subdued tasting beer but there was some nice citrus & pine coming through & it was definitely the better of the two beers from the brewery that I've tried here recently. There's some caramel malts at points, they were a little stronger with the nose but featured come the taste too & some hop bitterness followed. It's definitely nothing special but compared to the brewery's last offering this one was a much nicer beer.

Hazy amber color with a thick off-white head with great retention.
Aroma with notes of pine, lychees and melon .
Flavor with notes of pine, oranges, ice tea with lemon, melon, spices, slightly toasted malts and just a bit of caramel. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation.
American IPA with good hop complexity but still super refreshing. Nice melon, tea, pine and lemony flavors. I wouldn't mind to have this as a fridge regular.
