3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A treat of an IPA in southern England. Meantime (and Brewdog) are doing their best to help satiate the needs of American ex-pat hop-heads.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy golden orange. Mild aroma of grass and resin. Elegant palate is mildly hoppy, but really well balanced in body and flavor with a green ans pine flavor.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Oct 2007 (from BA): Nicely packaged 750ml bottle, cork and caged with eye catching labels.
The beer poured a hazy dark amber with a firm white head.
The aroma is all about hops, a lot more hoppy than the usual English IPA style of today.
The taste is also very hoppy, again more prominent than the normal IPA’s in the UK.
The mouthfeel is fine, the hoppiness does become drier though, as the taste goes.
An interesting beer from an interesting brewery, well worth trying.

750ml bottle shared with Anna and FatPhil @Hell Hunt, Tallinn. Hazy dark yellow color. Small white head. Strong strawberry like hops in aroma. Somewhat sweet spicy body, pine, hops. Weird beer in a good way.

Davvero ottima questa IPA inglese qualcosa di travolgente tranne nell’aroma, un tantino insipido!

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains with some light pine hops. Flavor is similar with some grassy hops with cereal and sweet grains.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a cloudy honey color with small head that quickly dissipates that leaves no lacing. Piney hops. Bready and toasted malts. Moderate combination. Chewy palate, slightly oily. Medium bitterness with slight sweetness. Long finish that is medium bitterness. Not super complex hop flavor, but good balance between the hop and malt. I’d drink again.

Smells dreadful, huge disappointment. And then I had to drink 750ml of it. :(
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours oily, opaque orange with a small white head. Smells yeasty and bready. Taste is... different; mostly bready and yeasty with a touch of bitterness underneath. Medium-bodied with an oily texture and mild mouth-carbonation, Meantime IPA finishes with a touch of bitter funk on the mostly clean aftertaste. Perhaps it was an old bottle, but this was definitely not an IPA.
