This was the first ever IPA I tried, back in a day when IPA’s were definately not fashionable. Back then I thought it was revolting, and never gave it a second thought. . . I spotted it the other day and thought lets give it a try.

Actually, compared to a lot of these modern day “craft” beers, which seem to try and cram the most ridiculous amount of hops into their beers, to the point that not only do they all taste very much alike, they actually dont taste very nice at all. . . This is quite refreshing. You can actually still taste a maltiness and it reminds you its actually a beer, not a fringe / hybrid beer / lager designed in a “craft” brewery to try and appeal to lager drinkers. I dont mind it.
