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%.

!6oz pour. Nice white, fluffy head and crystal clear pale-yellow color. Nice nose of hops siimilar to Youngs SLA. At first I thought it tasted like SLA but it didn’t hang on and turned out to be quite mellow for a Belhaven product. Mellow + balanced would be the right way to put it. Nice IPA in the UK fashion and worthy of another purchase. Nice session beer for sure.
