not a hop-bomb like some IPA's but comfortably the best IPA I have tasted to date.

I'd only ever had one IPA before (James Squire) so I thought I'd give this one a crack, as it sounded interesting. A beautiful bronze color, beautiful head that went away and laced the glass after a few minutes. The taste was a delicous hop taste, nice and smooth, with a long dry aftertaste. I'd have to try more IPA's to give this one a fair go against beers of a similar style, but for something slightly different and easy to drink, definetly give this one a crack!

What a beautiful beer! With the description given, I was expecting a hop-bomb, but what I got was a good, smooth, hoppy, but well-balanced brew!

The aroma was hoppy, but not strong, and the pour into the glass made about a cm of head that tapered back into a thin lattice after a few minutes. The colour was a deep bronze that was clear, and the taste was hop-bitter, but not overwhelming.  A VERY GOOD drinking experience. If you like a beer with substance and like the IPA style, then this is a worthy try!
