Greene King IPA Export Strength

Bouteille de 500 ml claire (ça s’annonce mal) acheté au LCBO de Rideau et King Edward (Ottawa), le 10 février 2009. Rousse miel, collet mince qui disparait très vite. Arome faible d’orge malté, maïs sucré et rien houblonné. Goût malte sucré, très faible amèrturme et une arrière-goût sec. Un autre fausse IPA!

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Nice amber color. Sweetish aroma with candyish and perfumed english hops, orange marmelande and weird onion scent. Sweet nutty, chocolatey, caramelly and candyish flavor with medium bitterness. OK to drink but needs more hops. The hoppiness is hardly at the level of standard pale ale.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with a light off white head. Lightly hoppy with some earthy bitterness. Thin malt body not much going on here.

Clear bottle. Pours light mahogany, small thin head. Nose is sweet, citruisy hops. Tastes of sweet hops, slight malt (caramel), somewhat bitter and slightly astringent. Leaves an off putting sour taste in the mouth (I usually like sourness). Possible it did not travel well. My first English IPA, and I will be drinking more as this is definitely not American IPA.

Got from LCBO sat jan 17th to try my first real IPA (alexander keiths not one). This was a smooth going down with a hint of caramel was noted not much of a head when pored. Discovered a bitter aftertaste but dissapates quickly. I wouldn’t drink this on ongoing basis.

Bouteille de 500 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler. Une biere de couleur rouille orangé avec un mince collet non collant. Odeur de bananes, un peu de sel, noix et blé d’inde. Gout un peu salé, gingembre, zest d’orange. Biere tres decevente.

Shared with pyrozoid. Copper/Orange poor with a tiny off-white head. Aromas of toffee, nutty, salted herbs, herbal, smoked wood. Lively carbonated, medium body... Typical english ESB. Zesty mouthfeel. Caramel, malty and hoppy flavors.
