COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Permanent. Bottle; Permanent (bottle conditioned).

Axe Edge, our 6.8% IPA is our flagship ale, our most decorated in terms of awards won, and probably our most talked-about beer. It’s an English take on the American style of IPA - Big, bold and hoppy. The flavours are simple - it’s full of tropical fruit notes, and the aromas are fresh and vibrant. There’s a lot of malt character in there too, and its rather bitter and refereshing. We think it’s delicious, hope you do to.

Golden orange beer with a white head. Citrus and melon hop notes to go with a cracker malt base. Just a mild sweetness to the nose. The flavor is lightly swee with some bread and cracker notes. A good floral hop flavor, some citrus peel, and definitely some melon. Mild bitterness on the finish.

77ships (2154) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - SEP 30, 2012
Cask @ Borefts 2012. Clear bright orange, creamy white head. Nose is chokefull or pine resin, tangerines, mandarins, lychee, damn juicy. Sweet, lots of exotic fruits flavour, mango, orange peel and tangerines, lychee, juice, pine resin in the back. Flat cask body, which is an UK thing of sorts as far as I am concerned but the lovely juicy fruitiness compensates.

jmgreenuk (1273) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - SEP 29, 2012
Cask at Borefts 12. Big white frothy head. Straw yellow pour. The aroma Is very hoppy which is a big clue to what lies behind in the flavour. Nice bitterness on the palate. The sample I tasted was a little on the warm side but I can't help but feel it should be served a little cooler which would have enhanced the experience. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Borresteijn (3644) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - SEP 29, 2012
Cask handpump at BBF’12. Clear light amber colour, no head. Aroma is nice hoppy, grapefruit, loads of citrus, passion fruit. Flavour is very leafy, rotten leaves, green leaves, some citrus and grapefruit, grapes, medium sweet malty, bitter finish. Light bodied, flat. I think (and hope) this was off, I had really high hopes for this beer, as everything else from these guys is just great. Hope to rate the bottled version anytime soon.
