3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The fourth and last beer in my ’Dunham Massey 4’ tasting evening (Apr 2011).
500ml Brown bottle, best before Aug 2011, some three and a half months away from the tasting evening. The beer is bottle conditioned.
The clear amber body looked good, as did the white bubbley head that left some good lacing as the beer level fell.
The smell was of hops, plenty of them and fairly bitter (in both the aroma and later in the taste).
A true British IPA, hoppy, but not over the top, like some of our East Coast (US) brewing friends appear to prefer.
Easy on the eye, nose and throat, this is a good example of what the original style most likely appeared and tasted like.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle 500ml - Hazy pale blond colour. Light hoppy aroma. Flavour has a malty background and a bit of drying hop. Generally a bit rough around the edges and unrefined. A bit too gassy too.

Cloudy, pale, light and with a slightly spicey taste, not bad but I was expecting a lot better
