St Peters India Pale Ale

Brewed by St Peters (UK)
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Bungay, England

Bottle from waitrose had at home. Alround rating: Minerally and malty, bit of brett like harveys but not as good, grassy and peppery hop is subtle.

bottle at Jeruselem Tavern ... amber ... sweet watter fruity hop ... light dry fruit hop ... little musty ... little grapefruit.

bottle, pours light orange with a thin off white head. Citrus and noble hop aroma. Sweet candied light fruit with a sweet malt body. Nice, and definately a British IPA with more sweet and less bitter than the American IPA’s, and I like it better that way! Good stuff.

I have been wanting to try this one for a while. I have enjoyed their other beers a lot. I can’t explain it but there is some thing skunkilicious about these guys beers! Definitely an English IPA. This one is very bitter. I didn’t enjoy it as much though. If I want European skunk this is where I go for it! Quality skunk beer. It’s like a stinky pussy on your fingers, very pungent but not bad.

bottle, Waitrose Abergavenny. Deep amber colour with a oaky wood shine. Fluffy white head. Very intensive hop aroma. Full-bodied, bitter-sweet. Lots of malt and fruit: lemon, orange marmalade and citrus hops. Very very hoppy finish which is quite bitter.

Bottle. Clear, dark amber with a small, but mostly lasting white head. Sweet fruit, caramel and toffee notes on the nose, some bready hints. Initially sweet with some buttery tones but this soon gives way to a rather harsh and unrefined bitterness. Quite an agressive palate texture, medium body and the bitterness is quite insistent. Somewhat like Speckled Hen. Not for me.

Not a bad British IPA. I normally find them bland compared to the US versions, but this had some body and a pleasant (if not very bitter) flavor.

Very apparent English influence. Crystal clear apricot pour with a small ivory head that left quickly. All malt in both flavor and aroma with a bit of skunk and bitter finish. Not a favorite.
