Listed on the bottle as 6.5%. Yellowy/Orange pour that is very cloudy. Looks like a good West Country Scrumpy! Tall, white head that looks pillow like from above, but on the side it appears to made up of much bigger diameter bubbles. Falls away quickly with not much lace to speak of. Carbonation seems a little high.
Aroma is very muted, not much to speak of at all. Tastes are hop-based, but overall rather sweet. Hop presence but lacks bitterness. Very mild grapefruit in the finish, but again muted. This is a SWEET (meaning sugary) beer!
Quite surprised at the lack of bitterness. Aftertaste is small.
Thirst quenching and drinkable, but not very typical of a West Coast, or indeed an American, IPA.
