500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Deep golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate but pleasant fruity aroma of Challenger(?) hops, also notes of butterscotch and fudge, hints of candy. Light bodied, thin mouthfeel. The flavour belongs to a standard bitter (in a blind test I would probably have guessed that the ABV was closer to 4.0% than 4.8%), moderate malts and hops, slightly fruity - but the hops are certainly not plentiful enough to justify the label "IPA". The troops in India in Victorian times would probably not recognise this as an IPA - but the average bitter drinker in a modern English pub will probably be satisfied with this one as a "somewhat-stronger-than-average" session bitter.

Not a bad IBA. Orangish apperance with a wee bit of medium head. Very decent, nice and hoppy, a good session beer but really nothing to write home about.

Cask handpump at the Shambles, Whitby, North Yorkshire. Clear dark copper colour with a creamy white head. Hoppy aroma. Flavours are hops, malts, citrus and moderate bitterness. Very drinkable, IPA-ish bitter.

Thanks to Tom Nickel for cracking this bottle open at O’briens. It poured with an orange-gold hue topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slighlty sweet with a slight grassy hoppiness...Not a whole lot of bitterness to this beer. Light bodied and smooth.
