Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned. Alsos available on keg.
Meantime are Britain's only brewers of authentic India Pale Ale. Small batch production allows us to apply the attention to detail and care we require to produce an authentic IPA especially for you. Pound upon pound of Fuggles & Goldings hops are needed to enable us to achieve the dry hopping rates necessary to recreate this great beer style. Enjoy with hot foods and spicy friends, or vice versa.

0.75l bottle. Pours deep amber with a decent head and a lot of carbonation. Taste is powerfull hops and quite bitter. I found the hops a little over powering, not bad but I’m not a huge fan.

Pours a nice cloudy amber with a off white head and some lacing. Aroma is caramel sweet malt, dough and dark fruits. Flavor is very citric, some dough and nice bitterness in the background. Suprisingly thin for an IPA. Lively carbonation. Finishes somewhat abrubt and slightly more bitter than the initial flavor.

balanced aroma of muted citrus, caramel, cardboard. light amber color, surprisnigly active head. flavors of bitter, lgiht caramel, oak. intersting for a biriths brew to taste like its from the pacific northwest, though not quite, not the freshness, a little shy.

I enjoyed this cloudy brown and orange ale with grilled catfish and string beans. It’s upfront hops flavor was subdued by the gathering of malt in the background, which eventually came through, It reminded me of the Capt. Lawrence Reserve and it was very easy to drink.

Light copper. Pours with generous carbonation that extends even after the 80% head has thinned down to under and inch. Aroma is sweet, caramelly, doughy, yeasty. Flavor is first sweet, then bitter, and has notes of bitter apple an/or other fermentable sugars. It’s almost like this beer isn’t done in the mash tank yet. Well, if this is a true IPA, then it’s very different from what your used to if you just started drinking American IPAs in the last 6 months. Nov 2007 - May 2008. This is more like an English strong ale that has some fruity chracter, and has been substatially dry-hopped. The mouthfeel is lively and carbonated, and a little thicker than water. The finish is thick, sweet, and full.

Århus2008. 75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fizzy white head. Light hoppy aroma. Dry hops flavour with a solid bitterness and fruity grape and peach notes. Ends the same way in a nice dry bitterness.

750 ml bottle. Beautiful white head and hazy light orange body. Clean citrusy smell with malt behind it. Orangey taste with slight hop tart. Very carbonated, can see it and feel it. Not sure about this- very pricey, but also very different in a good way.
