Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pastuerised.
A refreshing example of an India Pale Ale from the master brewers at Belhaven. The blend of Cascade and Challenger hops combine to produce an abundance of fresh hop aroma that preludes a bitter-dry taste explosion. Crafted from nearly three centuries of brewing heritage at Scotland’s oldest independent brewery, this ale from Belhaven will have your taste buds tingling.
6.1% USA export version. The Europe version is 5.3%.

Very floral IPA. Nice balance of hops and malt but not overpowering hopiness. Pours dark golden with a short head.

Slightly hazy orange pour. Obvious presence of hops that carries for awhile. Decent taste that has a good hop profile. Pretty good, slightly harsh on the finish.

Acheté à la SAQ du Marché Jean-Talon à Montréal. En bouteille. 6.1%. En général, pas mauvais, mais je me serai passé du bitter de cette bière. Acidité et amertume moyenne. Arôme de chocolat, muscade et estragon. Effervescence nulle. Bière de couleur doré-orangé. Densité faible. Mousse pratiquement inexistante. Saveur de bitter, mais surtout d’épice...il y a beaucoup d’épice.

Draught. Poured medium broen with thick beige head. Floral aroma. hoppy flavour but more subdued, with much caramel. At times, it was more like a Scotch ale than the English IPA it was billed as. Lasting bitter-dry finish.

500 ml bottle purchased at Food Emporium. Pours a golden orange color with an off-white head. Flavor: Bold hops, a hint of pepper, and malt sweetness.

Thought this was a fairly good beer. Poured from a bottle into a glass. Nothing which stood out, but nothing that made me not want to have another one again.
