I tried one of these the other day, reading the label on the back I thought it was going to be a completely pretentious load of old fizz but I was wrong, I really liked it. Enormously fruity, great nose with an old fashioned bitter finish, its expensive but memorable. This IPA is certainly on a par with some of the other tasty IPA's you can get in supermarkets these days (for example Bath Ales Wild Hare and Jaipur from Thornbridge) it's just a shame the bottles are so small though 330ml instead of the normal Pint/500ml size, it just makes carrying them in a shopping basket a pain.
If you're interested what the back label says here it is...

A bit like having tasting notes on a pack of pork scratchings, ain't it?
CB, I guess tasting critique is normally the domain of wine, but I think good beer is often under appreciated.
Not a beer drinker and thus my judgement is clouded (a bit like bad beer).
You should try it CB - I'd say it's a wine drinkers beer.
