Amber pour with orange highlights, thick off-white head. Plentiful hops in the nose, well mixed. Pleasantly bitter. Carmel malt and a variety of hops play well together through the middle. Nice sharp hop bite on the way out. Is this what the docks of Southampton smelled like awhile back? I hope so.|11/26/2012

Clear, amber color. Big, white head. Aroma of malt, citrus fruits, and resin. Malty sweetness at the beginning gets washed away by sharp, hoppy bitterness. Perfectly balanced. Juicy and refreshing.

Used to love these out of the wetherspoons fridges in Nottingham UK, stopped doing it at least 5 years ago. Was always very satisfying balancing resinous and citric hop forward notes with gentle finish and quaffability.

Rating from notes. Poured out of a 12-ounce can. My overall impression of the beer: "Aromatic IPA. Flavour gets a little watery towards the end, but otherwise this is well executed."

I really like this as an example of a lighter IPA--one that I enjoy drinking by itself rather than just with food. It's not quite a session beer, but I can have more than one without feeling either like my mouth is turning to cotton or that I'm about to fall off of my stool.
