No nose on this UK IPA. Poured clear and amber. Didn't get a head on this. Faint grassyness in the taste I think*? A decent lasting bitter finish at the back of the mouth. No tropical fruitiness going on here, but this is brewed by
Marstons who're responsible for
Old Empire IPA - no expectation of that West Coast IPA flavour. Like
Moor's Empire Strikes Back, this is a UK IPA, a specific style harking back to the how and whys of when the IPA was first created. A decent drink with a strong ABV. Despite the otherwise rather drab nature of the TTD branding, I really like the elephant graphic on the label.
*disclaimer: immature palette!
