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%.

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. 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.

Clear amber with a tight off white head. Mild floral hop aroma. Medium body. Nice grassy and floral hop flavors on a lightly sweet honey malty base.
