COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask & Bottle Conditioned, Occasional;
Wherryman’s Way IPA is brewed in the American pale ale style, which pays homage to the original strong but light-in-colour English ales that made the journey from Burton-on-Trent to Bombay, with a combination of locally grown Maris Otter pale malt and caramel malt for a deep golden colour with a refreshing dry flavour. Hopped with a combination of Target and Centennial hops and then dry-hopped in the cask with more Centennial and Simcoe hops, the beer is full of a funky citrus hop character like many of its cousins from across the pond.

tiong (2243) - Espoo, FINLAND - MAY 9, 2013
650ml bottle @ Super IPA tasting

Pours dark orange with a smooth foamy head. Aroma of floral hops, grass, malts and caramel. Taste is floral with notes of grassy hops, citrus, some biscuity malts and sweetness. Finish is malty, resinous dry and crisp with some biscuity notes and hops. Okay, quite malty and sweetish IPA.

lusikka (4047) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAY 9, 2013
650 ml bottle.
Pours a golden copper colour with a creamy white head. Aroma of floral hops, grains, mandarin orange and hay. Flavour of caramel malts, floral hops, resin, strong tangy mandarin orange, grass and some tartness. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Rather weird tartness here, although the bitterness is rather nice.

66 cl bottle @ olio as ”Humpty Dumpty W Double IPA”, BBE 02/2014
Aroma is somewhat fruity with gooseberry bush and hints of vanilla. Flavour has glue, honey, some fruity notes. Harsh finish with gooseberry bush, some nettles and grass. Also some acidic white wine notes. Not very double IPA and not very good.

Idiosynkrasie (1848) - Bielefeld, GERMANY - APR 18, 2013
660ml bottle [Double W IPA]. Filmy copper colour with small, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy hop aroma with notes of mandarine, minimally herbal, a piney touch. Taste is caramel malty, a touch of biscuit, citrusy hoppy overtones, hints of orange and mandarine; in the finish bitter hoppy with herbal and piney notes. Not a hop bomb, rather an IPA on an introductory level, nevertheless absolutely flawless, well balanced and tasty.

RichardGretton (4020) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 23, 2012
Bottle. Cloudy amber beer with a really strong creamy off white head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is well hopped with some toffee and a malty finish. Overall a nice well hopped and bitter beer with malty notes. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very hazy amber beer, short lived bubbly off white head. Semi dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Sweetish malt base that ends up with quite a sugary note. The hops are bitter and a little piney, only minor hop fruit. The hops struggle against the sweetness. But overall this is all right.

Bottle at The Kernel Christmas Tasting, 2011, London. Your welcome for this beauty, gents. Pours cloudy, light brown with a bubbly, foam head. Light toast aroma, faint pine, grass, and subtle alcohol. Very sweet flavor, some woody dirt, light pine. Medium to full bodied with fine, soft carbonation. Faint dry finish, some tangy citrus, dirt, wood. Meh. Yeah, quite dry.
