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%.

(Draught) pours amber with a nice head and good lacing. Nose is caramel and piney hops and the taste reflect the same. Lose bitterness and nice finish. Velvety like carbonation and weight. A nice IPA overall.

Pours amber with little head. Not like the IPA’s we are used to here in the US but overall a smooth beer.

500ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours the nice copper of an English bitter, but with surprising hop aroma and flavour. Very easy drinking.

Bottle. Amber with floaties. Whit thin lasting foam. Moderate hop scent on malt aroma. Dry hoppy moderate IPA. Tasty daily drinker. Nice balance. Nice sweetness. Nicely hopped.

Bottle. Thanks Russ. Poured a copper amber. Nose was clearly hoppy.Nicely balanced blend of malt and hops with a hop note that surprised me in its depth. Not my favorite hop variety, as I prefer it more floral, but a good beer.
